Marienstatt Monastery

Highlight • Religious Site

The monastery is definitely worth a visit - not just because of the beer garden. ;-) The monastery garden, the monastery courtyard, the library and the church are always inspiring!

It goes along the end of the monastery wall towards Astert/Heimborn.

You have to cross the Nister River over this bridge about 2 km past the monastery!
