Cloisters that lead around monastery gardens are often beautiful.
Not only in the Christian faith, but also in Islam, for example, gardens are meant to invite people to linger and get closer to paradise.
The Eberbach monastery is one of the most beautiful monastery complexes in Germany and is also highly recommended for wine lovers.

Pay attention to the opening times! We were unlucky and it was booked for a private event...

The eastern and northern cloister building and library building enclose an inner courtyard that was used as a cloister and monastery garden. The north side is partly Romanesque, partly Gothic, like the west side.
