Wörschweiler Monastery (Verneri-Villerium) is a former abbey of the Cistercian monks in Saarland. The monastery was in what is now the Wörschweiler district of the Saarland city of Homburg in the forest on a 315 m high ridge above the town. The name Werschweiler is also used in older literature.

It can be reached from Wörschweiler via a steep, winding path. Very exciting. And when the ruins of the monastery suddenly become visible above, it is very impressive and beautiful

A monastery was built on the mountain very near Schwarzenacker in 1131. It was a Benedictine monastery under the priory of Hornbach Abbey. As early as 1171, the founders of the monastery, the Counts of Saar Werden, replaced the Benedictines and appointed Cistercians. The priory became an abbey. The Cistercians expanded the modest Benedictine church into a larger Romanesque church, the remains of which can still be seen today on the monastery mountain. The smooth snake also feels very comfortable between the historic walls.
