The church was demolished at the beginning of the 19th century. They came across Roman remains and above them the foundations of three churches.

Foundations and a few historical plans bear witness to the former church.

Thanks to the beautiful map, you can imagine what it looked like. I could hardly imagine it with just a few leftovers.

There is not much to see of the church, except for a few remains of the wall. But I found the gravestones around them very interesting! The remains of the wall also invite you to take a break.

The monastery complex and the castle in St. Johann bei Albersweiler are explained on the board. Very interesting at the beginning of the hike to immerse yourself in the history of the area. At the end of the hike, it's nice when you can still rest and let this historic site work on you.

There are a few benches here for a rest. In spring/summer, this hillside area is often covered with tall grass and therefore somewhat confusing.

In addition to tombs from the old cemetery of St. Johann and a memorial for those killed in World War I, the main remains here are the foundation walls of "the monastery church of the penitents, built in the 13th century. They had their cloister area on the site of today's BASF study house [= Rococo palace of St. Johann]." - "After the monastery was dissolved in the 16th century, the church served as the parish church for the town of St. Johann. In 1843, the church was declared dilapidated and demolished. The cemetery continued to be used."

Nice little district with the old castle and the church ruins of the same name.

St. Johann - not in Tyrol, in Pongau or anywhere else, but in the Palatinate. You can also hike the "Alberweiler Schmunzelpfad" from the hiking car park
