Let yourself be enchanted by the magnificent Marienstatt Abbey. The famous place of pilgrimage is now considered one of the spiritual and cultural centres of the Westerwald. Built by the monks, the first Gothic church on the right bank of the Rhine in Germany is a marvellous work of art. Inside you will find one of the oldest choir stalls still in use in Germany, the miraculous image of the "Sorrowful Mother of God" and the large Rieger organ.
The monastery grounds have even more to offer!
The beautiful grounds are also home to Marienstatt Abbey's private grammar school, the guest house, a library and a book and art shop. The beautiful baroque monastery garden, which is open to the public, and the historic Nister Bridge, which leads to the abbey grounds, are particularly impressive. Combine your excursion with a detour to the Marienstatter Brauhaus. In fine weather and with a freshly tapped home-brewed abbey beer, the large beer garden invites you to enjoy hearty dishes from regional cuisine.
In 1212 the history of the Cistercian abbey Marienstatt began. Today the popular place of pilgrimage is considered one of the spiritual and cultural centres of the Westerwald.
