Did you know that kings and emperors once lingered here? This was part of the royal palace, and the chapel itself was built around 1200. Behind you is the Rententurm, once a key customs post. Turn around and let your eyes drift over the River Main, imagining the ships that once docked here, unloading their goods. These thick walls tell tales of a time when Frankfurt was an emerging trade city, a hub for merchants from around the world. Feel the peace and take a moment to let the stories of past eras wash over you.
