The Abbey Ruin in Bad Hersfeld is the ruin of the Collegiate Church of the former Hersfeld Abbey in Bad Hersfeld. It is one of the largest Romanesque basilicas north of the Alps and is now the largest Romanesque church ruin in the world. The collegiate church and most of the monastery buildings were destroyed in 1761 in the Seven Years' War.
Occasionally, festive events and choral performances took place in the ruin. This was taken up again after the Second World War and the Bad Hersfeld Festival has been held there since 1951.

In the monastery district of Bad Hersfeld there are several monuments, time-honored buildings and of course the famous monastery ruins, in which the Bad Hersfeld Festival has been held every year since 1951. A stroll through the monastery district is highly recommended.
