Mannheim Jesuit Church

Mannheim Jesuit Church featuring heritage elements


Marvel at the sheer opulence of this historic gold-leafed church, where marvelous frescoes and ornate features line the interior walls.

The Mannheim Jesuit Church is an 18th-century architectural gem with elements of Baroque and classical design. The church has an array of exquisite art and impressive ecclesiastical features, particularly the high altar and royal boxes. Enjoy the serene ambiance in one of the most important Baroque churches in southwestern Germany.

Arrive at the church and capture photos of the imposing red sandstone façade, with a strong pediment and black turrets. Enter through the main gate and marvel at the various frescoes and paintings that adorn the walls in the light and airy nave. Gaze up at the gold-leafed high altar, with sculptures of cherubs overhead. The nave is flanked by thick white columns with touches of green and red.

Listen to the sweet melodies of the choir in this spacious building, which Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart praised for its acoustics when he played the organ during a visit in the 18th century. See the plaque outside that commemorates the iconic composer. The church contains eight bells, which are split between its two towers. Stay for a church service for a glimpse into the church’s religious identity.

The site was initially completed in 1760, designed by architect Alessandro Galli Bibiena and based on Rome’s Al Gesu church. Although the structure was heavily damaged in World War II, it was reconstructed in the same style using many of the original parts.

Stroll through the church on any day from morning until early evening. It is free to enter. Relax in a nearby café and enjoy the views of the large site.

The Mannheim Jesuit Church is in the center of the city. Take public transportation to one of the many bus and tram stops surrounding it. Walk northwest from the Mannheim Train Station to get here in about 15 minutes. Visit nearby attractions, including the Museum Zeughaus, Friedrichspark and University of Mannheim.
