Tips
One of the oldest building ruins in Germany… to be admired from the outside… a wooden gate prevents you from entering… but you can get a glimpse of the dilapidated walls through the gate inside

The ruined church was planned as a pilgrimage church in the 17th century, but never finished. It is one of the oldest building ruins in Germany.

Construction of the church began around 1100. Due to the Thirty Years' War, the church was never completed. Today, it is unfortunately in danger of collapsing and can only be viewed from the outside. Despite this, it is a remarkable building!
