Guided Story
Can you feel the whispers of the past here? Look up at the intricate facades of the Neues Schloss, a masterpiece of Renaissance elegance. In the late 1500s, this was the residence of the powerful archbishops of Mainz. Imagine carriages clattering over cobblestones and the court bustling in lavish attire. Just behind you is the Kulturkeller Höchst, a hub of art and music today, but back then, the castle's halls echoed with grand feasts and celebrations. If you listen closely, you might still catch the faint echoes of those ancient festivities in the breeze.
