Herb Garden at the Paulinzella Monastery Ruins

The private herb garden at the Paulinzella monastery ruins was laid out in 2012. A wide variety of herbs grow and thrive on 27 raised beds.

Our tour took us to Paulinzella. The ruined monastery is one of the most important Romanesque sacred buildings in Germany.
