The Dripping Stone

The Triefenstein Monastery is a former monastery of the Augustinian canons in Triefenstein in the Bavarian district of Lower Franconia in the Diocese of Würzburg. Its name comes from the dripping stone, a spring that rises under a striking stone right next to the monastery.
The monastery dedicated to St. Peter and Paul was founded in 1102 by Gerung, a former dean of the Neumünster Abbey in Würzburg. There are several reasons for the location of the monastery: the ford at the foot of the mountain on which the monastery was built, the elevated location on the mountain itself and the springs in the immediate vicinity.
The convent and church were rebuilt at the end of the 17th century and valuable furnishings were added during the 18th century. The monastery was dissolved in 1803 in the course of secularization. The monastery complex came into the possession of the Counts of Löwenstein-Wertheim-Virneburg, who rose to Prince Löwenstein-Wertheim-Freudenberg in 1812 as part of an increase in status - the church and monastery were completely neglected.
Since 1986 the Triefenstein Monastery has been home to the order-like Protestant Brotherhood of Christians founded in Bensheim in 1961. They use the facility as a headquarters and guest house for up to 90 guests.Source: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kloster_Triefenstein
