Ruins of Toenisstein monastery
Ruins of Toenisstein monastery, Medieval monastery ruins near Kell, Germany.
The Ruins of Toenisstein monastery are the stone remains of a 15th-century religious complex nestled in the forest of Rhineland-Palatinate, surrounded by trees and woodland. The fragmentary buildings reveal the original layout and the architectural style of this former community.
The monastery was founded in 1465 and served as home to Carmelite monks seeking a life of prayer and seclusion. Over time it lost its residents and gradually fell into disuse, leaving behind only the ruins we see today.
The monks who made this place their home chose this isolated location deliberately for their prayer and communal life together.
The site sits in a wooded area and can be reached via marked paths that lead from the surrounding forest to the ruins. Visitors should wear sturdy footwear since the ground is uneven and tree roots cross the walking paths.
The site keeps its original name Sankt Antoniusstein, which shows a connection to Saint Anthony. This name serves as a reminder of the spiritual meaning this place held for the monks and later for pilgrims.
