This isn't just a striking feature; it's what gave the Golden-Ross-Kaserne its name. Originally built as a stable for the Electors of Mainz, this place was bustling with horses and carriages. Envision the noble steeds and the sound of carriages clattering over cobblestones. Today, this impressive building houses the Landesmuseum Mainz. Wandering through its exhibits feels like a journey back in time, bringing the region's history to life. Let yourself be enchanted by the stories and artifacts preserved within these walls.
