All Saints' Abbey, Monastery ruins in Black Forest, Germany
The stone walls of All Saints' Abbey stand at 620 meters elevation in the upper Lierbach valley of Baden-Württemberg.
Duchess Uta of Schauenburg established the monastery in 1192, which received official recognition from Philip of Swabia in 1200 and Pope Innocent III in 1204.
The monastery developed into a central religious institution, sending canons to establish daughter houses at Lorsch Abbey and Haguenau.
The site includes a café, museum, and chapel, with access to the adjacent All Saints' Waterfalls for nature exploration.
The monastery's location was determined by following a roaming donkey, leading to the construction of the initial wooden chapel.
