Some remains of the wall can still be found. Pretty overgrown.

"On the evening of March 24, 1835, the bells in Echtz rang the fire alarm because the monastery building and church in Schwarzenbroich were on fire and badly damaged. The damaged buildings were not repaired. The entire complex was sold a year later to the Count (today: Prince) of Merode. After 496 years, the monastery returned to the hands of the founding family, who are still the owners today. The ruins were a popular place for excursions until the Second World War. During the Battle of the Hürtgen Forest (1944), the remaining ruins were destroyed down to the foundations.”

Witnesses from the past, from a time when the Christian faith determined people's lives.
