1926年以来、修道院教会は教皇の栄誉称号である小バシリカを授与されています。元々は後期ゴシック様式で建てられましたが、内部は数回改装され、1900年から1934年の間に新バロック様式で内装され、装飾が施されました。聖歌隊席の奥にある、フランス国王ルイ14世からの贈り物である荘厳な主祭壇は、1680年に奉献されました。

The night of the summer solstice in 1984 was dramatic and ominous. Flames shot into the sky above Angenstein Castle, sparks flew through the thick clouds of smoke, and the old castle chapel crackled in the heat. Two precious bells, which had rung out across the valley for centuries, suddenly fell silent. When the smoke cleared, they had vanished. The residents were baffled. No one knew whether thieves had taken advantage of the confusion or whether an ancient curse had completed the work of destruction.

With the construction of the new railway line between Aesch and Grellingen, the cycle path was also renovated. It is now completely paved. In Grellingen, near the former paper mill, the path connects to the railway line in such a way that crossing the tracks is no longer necessary. A great connection and very safe, much better than the parallel Grellingerstrasse road above.

The medieval Angenstein Castle belongs to the Canton of Basel-Stadt and is not open to the public. However, the castle can be viewed quite well from the outside, and rooms can be rented for events. The name means 'narrow stone' and comes from the narrow passageway on the site. Throughout its history, it has been burned down, destroyed, and rebuilt many times. The last fire occurred in 1984. The castle also houses rental apartments, and below it lies the Angenstein fortification – a military historical monument of national importance. Bunkers from the Second World War are visible; the painted facades were only added in the 1960s. The Muggenberg bunker complex is visible opposite.

Beautifully landscaped paths

In 1997, the cantonal government decided to undertake the necessary restoration and preservation measures at the castle complex to preserve its historic features. After two years of renovation work, the Dorneck ruins are once again open to visitors. The view from the tower over Basel and Dornach is breathtaking.
