Elten, Religious monastery in Emmerich am Rhein, Germany
The St. Vitus Church stands on the 82-meter-high Eltenberg, marking the location of the former religious complex in the Emmerich district.
Count Wickman of Hamaland established the monastery in 968, which later developed into a noble women's religious foundation by 973.
The Romanesque church contains medieval artifacts including ornate capitals, wall tapestries, baroque altar, and religious artworks from different periods.
The church remains open during daytime hours through a small wooden door within the main portal, allowing visitors to explore the interior.
The 57-meter-deep Drusus Fountain near St. Vitus Church supplied water to the convent and local population until 1931.
