Wormser Hof Palace

The Wormser Hof is a historic building in the old town of Heidelberg. The Wormser Hof was first documented in 1409 as the town house of the Bishops of Worms. In the second half of the 15th century, various important humanists, including Rudolf Agricola, stayed here as guests of the bishop, electoral chancellor, and curator of the university, Johann von Dalberg. In 1616, the building passed into electoral possession. In the following years, the Renaissance portal, still visible today, was created.
