A highlight in Münchsteinach is certainly the St. Nicholas Minster Church and the historic monastery buildings surrounding it. Inside the church you can feel its Romanesque origins, as the arches and pillars in the church room take you back to the 12th century with their shadowy painting.

The Hofmann brewery in Pahres is one of the largest country breweries in Franconia. 🍺🍻🍻

INFO board time travel: In 1520, the last abbot of the monastery, Christoph von Hirschaid, built the Abtschlösschen as his official residence outside the cloister. The von Hirschaid family coat of arms carved in sandstone above the entrance door still bears witness to him. These were turbulent times, so the building was surrounded by its own kennel wall. After the monastery was stormed in the Peasants' War (1525), the margrave sent an administrator who dissolved it, lived in the castle until 1743 and conducted his official business. The Margrave's state coat of arms preserved on the 2nd floor indicates this period of monastery administration and is considered a symbol of the claims to power of the Franconian margravedoms of this time. The privy bay on the south side is remarkable. The Abtschlösschen has been privately owned since 1798 and was extensively restored in 1935/36 and 1979/80.

The Hofmann brewery is located directly on the bike path.

A new addition is a beautifully designed playground that leaves nothing to be desired for the little ones.

During the Peasants' War of 1525, the church and monastery were partially destroyed, mainly by insurgents operating from Gutenstetten, and Abbot Christoph von Hirschaid was captured. The "Monica", the largest bell in the church of the vacant monastery, which was cast on behalf of Abbot Wilhelm (1452-1495), who also arranged for the renovation of all the monastery buildings, was cast by the Abenberg family. The monastery, whose reconstruction initially had to be carried out by the Gutenstetteners, was dissolved in 1528/1529 in the course of the Reformation and in 1540 a monastery office was set up for administration. The monastery church has been used as a Lutheran parish church since 1530.
