The Ulrichskapelle in the monastery area is a gem in the Schurwald. Definitely worth a look. There are rare frescoes and a valuable altar to visit - small but beautiful. In the immediate vicinity is the monastery garden with medicinal herbs from all over the world.

The extensive monastery grounds also include a pizzeria and a museum that provides information about the monastery. A cycle path leads through the area.

Adelberg Monastery was a Premonstratensian monastery built in 1178 in Adelberg near Göppingen (Baden-Württemberg). For 300 years, a canon and a female choir convent existed side by side, in 1476 the canonesses had to move to Lauffen am Neckar.
In its early phase, the monastery of the Reform Order was intensively promoted by the Hohenstaufen, who initially also provided the bailiffs. Adelberg was in competition with the neighboring Benedictine monastery Lorch. From 1372 the convent finally came under Württemberg rule, which brought the abbey an economic boom in the 15th century and made Adelberg one of the richest monasteries in the old duchy.
The monastery was badly damaged in the Peasants' War; During the reconstruction period, the Reformation fell, after its final introduction Adelberg was the seat of a Protestant monastery school from 1565 to 1629/1630. Her most famous student was Johannes Kepler. Until 1810 it was the seat of a prelature of the Württemberg regional church. During this time, outstanding Protestant theologians served there as abbots and prelates, including Jakob Andreae, Johann Jakob Heinlin, Lucas Osiander the Elder and Johann Wolfgang Jäger.
Although the complex with its preserved walling can still be easily grasped, only a few buildings from the monastic time have been preserved; the monastery church was demolished after the Reformation. The Ulrich chapel with its altar from the workshop of Nikolaus Weckmann and the associated panel paintings by Bartholomäus Zeitblom stand out artistically from what has been preserved.

It is a very beautiful and well-kept monastery complex that you enter through an archway - although the arch reminds me of this film with the harmonica music by Ennio Morricoene.

The small monastery complex can be visited without an entrance fee.

The pizzeria is highly recommended (2020).
