History (wiki):

The foundation of the abbey at the beginning of the 12th century goes back to the Augustinian canons of Springiersbach. The nobleman Egelolf handed Abbot Richard I von Springiersbach his castle house, a chapel and other possessions on a promontory near Bremm for the construction of a monastery at the request of his daughter Gisela - a gift that enabled him to have a Church of St. Nicholas built. Stuben is first mentioned as ecclesia beati Nicolai de insula, around 1160 as sorores de Insula. In 1137 a large convent of women had settled here. Archbishop Albero of Trier limited this in his founding confirmation from 1137 to 100 women. The knight Heinrich von Ulmen (demonstrable 1202–1236) handed over to his sister Irmgard as head of the 1208 monastery the staurotheque (today in the Limburg diocesan museum in the Lahn) with cross particles and other relics that he brought from Constantinople from the fourth crusade (1202–1204) would have. Since then, Stuben has attracted many pilgrims. A cross chapel was built around 1275 to worship the relic. Despite the economic decline, 1685-1687 monastery church and cross chapel were rebuilt. In 1788 the pen was converted into a free women's pen, which was lifted in 1802. The monastery buildings were auctioned off in 1820.

The relic was brought to the right side of the Rhine with other relics in the course of the flight from the French. It came to the Duke of Nassau-Weilburg, who in 1835 gave it to the newly founded diocese of Limburg together with other Trier relics (including the Petrus staff)

One of the most striking ruins on the Moselle.

The Stuben monastery was abandoned in 1802 and auctioned off in 1820.

You do not need to travel to Greece, Spain or Italy - Kloster Stuben unites these destinations for me and I was overwhelmed by this old walls and had great fun taking pictures - highly recommended photo point
