Museum Castellum in Mainz-Kastel is a local history museum housed in the historic Reduit fortress, showcasing over 2,000 years of regional heritage. Founded in 1990 by the Gesellschaft für Heimatgeschichte Kastel, the museum began as a single exhibition room and expanded into a full-fledged institution thanks to community support. Its collection spans from Roman times to the present, with highlights including Terra Sigillata pottery, Roman coins, a bust of Emperor Constantine, medieval artifacts, and a replica of a Gutenberg-era printing press. The museum also features reconstructions of a Roman bath and water system, and displays on Kastel’s military and civic development.
