The former monastery church of St. Michael in Neunkirchen am Brand was part of the former monastery of the Augustinian canons, who gave up the monastery after the Reformation. Today, the monastery church, dedicated to the Archangel Michael, is the center of the Catholic parish. Many art treasures dating from the 13th to the 17th century can be found in the parish church, the Gothic Augustinian chapel and the former treasury, as well as in the scriptorium.

This house of God is dedicated to the Archangel Michael, the name (coming from Hebrew) means "Who is like God?". He is often depicted in paintings or as a statue with a flaming sword. Michael is - together with Raphael, Gabriel and Uriel - one of the four archangels who (according to human imagination) occupy the highest rank in the heavenly hierarchy of angelic beings. Their common feast day is September 29th.

Just nice to sit on a bench in the church courtyard and enjoy the peace and quiet. Possibly enjoy an ice cream from the nearby ice cream parlor. ..
