Tips

The three-aisled groin vaulted basilica with columns and pillars in the "Rhenish column change" has a transept in the east and an eight-sided crossing tower. With this emphasis on the east, it is hard to guess from the outside that the church is actually a double choir. The west building is only emphasized by an apse; the east choir was reserved for the monks, the west choir served the parish.

The view to the east shows the comparatively high pointed arched windows that this brightly lit east choir has been renewed in a Gothic style. Romanesque choirs look different, which can be seen on the same building, because the west choir has been preserved in its original form from 1150/60.

A monastery from the early 12th century. Simply impressive, these sacred buildings from the Middle Ages. Currently, an exhibition in part of the cloister invites you to linger. The life of order is shown under the sign of the craft.

The basilica is worth seeing and should be visited from the inside.
