Tips
The former gatehouse of the monastery and the small women's chapel give an impression of the former monastery surroundings and the cobblestone paths transport us to the car-free past around 1150 AD.

The monastery gate from the second half of the 12th century was the only access to the monastery area, which was enclosed by a wall.
Only the bricked-up arcades have survived from its porch, and the outer walls from the gatehouse itself.
The gatekeeper sat in the gatehouse, receiving and looking after the strangers, especially the pilgrims.translated by•August 10, 2023
