    Hiking

    It is rare to find remains of monuments in the city center. This is the case of those of the abbey of Munster, also called Saint-Grégoire abbey.

    The effect created is simply splendid, with the town's Protestant church in the background. The abbey dates back to the 7th century AD.

    Next to the church are the old walls of the Benedictine monastery of Gregorius.

    The monastery of St. Gregor (or Abbey of Münster in the Gregorian Valley/Gregory Münster (from the Latin Abbatia Monasteriensis in valle Gregoriana/in valle sancti Gregorii) was a Benedictine abbey. It existed until secularization in 1791. The buildings were largely destroyed in the First World War.
