10 Architectural Buildings in Hesse That You Shouldn't Miss
Hesse (/ˈhɛsə/) or Hessia (German: Hessen [ˈhɛsn̩], Hessian dialect: Hesse [ˈhɛzə]) is a federal state (Land) of the Federal Republic of Germany, with just over six million inhabitants. The state capital is Wiesbaden; the largest city is Frankfurt am Main. Until the unification of Germany, the territory of Hesse was occupied by the Grand Duchy of Hesse, the Duchy of Nassau, the free city of Frankfurt and the Electorate of Hesse, known also as Hesse-Cassel. Due to divisions after World War II, the modern federal state does not cover the entire cultural region of Hesse, which includes both the State of Hesse and the area known as Rhenish Hesse (Rheinhessen) in the neighbouring state of Rhineland-Palatinate.

This central location of Wiesbaden nightlife, the Kurhaus is most famous for its renowned casino.

We were stunned by visiting this impressive building. The Kurhaus Wiesbaden, a cure house as it means, built in 1907, is a place of marvelous historic architecture and state-of-the-art comfort, the perfect blend of relaxation, experience, beauty, and functionality. Since its inauguration, it has been a center of social events in the city. With its twelve magnificent halls and salons, it offers the ideal venue for galas, seminars, conferences, and congresses. It has also been used for filming TV series and movies. The neoclassical architecture houses a convention center and a casino. The building is divided into two equal-sized wings. In the south wing there is a large central pillar-lined concert hall. The north wing houses the smaller ballroom, a restaurant, and the main portion of the Casino, or Spielbank, which offers roulette, blackjack, and poker. During the 1980s, the Kurhaus underwent an extensive renovation and was equipped with modern conference technology. A landmark of an elegant city, it is surrounded by a lot of green, and splendid historical buildings. A complex of 12 rooms and parlors of varying size and style, several restaurants and the Casino, all assembled under one roof. For me, this has a significant status – my son Wasif Sagri attended his graduation ceremony at this splendid convention center on completion of his MBA in International Business Administration.

One of the city's primary performance centers, the State Theatre hosts opera, ballet, concerts and more.

Amazing environment with great performance we came early before the start and enjoyed a drink in the amazing atmosphere of the Foyer. The bar serves small snacks and nice drinks in a stunning setting. The performance was powerful and on high standards. We will come again.
9. Cathedral of St. Bartholomew (Dom St. Bartholomaus)
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 2,602 reviews
This historic cathedral served for 300 years as the site of coronation for Holy Roman Emperors.
Reviewed By 612billyq - Dublin, Ireland
The St. Bartholomew Cathedral tower is well worth climbing for the views of the old town, the Main river & greater Frankfurt. The viewing platforms are at a height of 66 meters and are reached via a long stone spiral stairs. Hard on the legs as there are no stops along the way. Well worth it though for the amazing 360 degree views from the top. The descent is easier.
10. Old Opera House (Alte Oper)

Destroyed by Allied bombing in 1944, Frankfurt's beautifully reconstructed opera house was reopened in 1981. It's now a major venue for concerts and operas.
Reviewed By bsandrs - Portsmouth, United Kingdom
The old Opera House was basically destroyed during the war, but has risen Phoenix like with a superb warm and great sounding interior. Very close to our hotel, a free evening for us in the City coincided with an excellent concert by the Frankfurt Radio Orchestra, which was an unexpected musical treat for us. The quality of the orchestra and soloist could not be faulted and we would certainly visit again.
