Facts and practical information

St. Sebastian is the oldest Catholic parish church in the city of Mannheim and one of the three churches of the Mannheim-City pastoral unit in the city center. In Electoral Palatine times, it was used by the Elector as a court church and received a magnificent interior by artists such as Bibiena, Verschaffelt and Egell. The furnishings were impaired by remodeling in the 19th century and damage during World War II. St. Sebastian's Church, together with the Old Town Hall, forms a Baroque double building erected at the beginning of the 18th century, which is the oldest preserved structure in the city.
