The cross corridor of the old Weissenburg monastery shines with Gothic splendor. Significant for this medieval architectural style are the fine columns, pointed arches and artistic windows.

Hiking

On the north side of the church, a fragment of an unfinished High Gothic cloister from the early 14th century has been preserved. Only its southern wing, adjacent to the church, and part of the east wing remain today. The church's buttresses extend beyond the structure and transfer the building's load to the cloister's outer pillars. Because the cloister remained unfinished and therefore was not vaulted, this structure is still openly visible to visitors today.

"This medieval cultural monument was adorned with a stone scallop shell as part of the European model project "Star Trail/Chemin des Étoiles" and commemorates the medieval pilgrims who once traveled through this ancient cultural landscape and inspired Europe's roots."
Source (quoted verbatim): Information board in front of the cloister entrance (a stone scallop shell is located below).
