The Antoniuskirche is home to the only surviving Gothic ceiling paintings in Mainz; they were discovered in 1948. The spacious nuns' gallery houses an organ that is used for teaching by the neighboring Institute for Church Music. A three-seater bench and a wall cupboard from the Gothic period have been preserved in the choir.
