Kirchberg convent, Dominican monastery in Sulz am Neckar, Germany
The Kirchberg convent stands on elevated ground with stone walls, traditional religious architecture, and multiple prayer rooms for daily services.
Founded in 1237 on a former castle site, the monastery received recognition from Pope Innocent IV in 1245 and operated until secularization in 1806.
The convent grew from ten to sixty nuns in its early years, reflecting the increasing number of women pursuing religious life in medieval Germany.
Daily services include Lauds at 7:45 am, Noon prayers, Vespers at 6 pm, and Compline at 9 pm, with Eucharist celebrations on Sundays and Thursdays.
Peter Schwarz has served as the minister since 2007, leading the Berneuchen Movement that continues religious traditions in this former Dominican convent.
