Eremitage Troisdorf, Historical hermitage in Altenrath Troisdorf, Germany.
Eremitage Troisdorf is a monastery site featuring a quartzite slab foundation called Ringelstein and remnants of a two-story chapel with residential quarters attached. The complex reflects the typical architecture of a small Franciscan hermitage from the 17th century.
Founded in 1670, this site served as a Franciscan monastery until 1803 when the religious community dissolved. Most structures were demolished in 1833, leaving only the foundations that remain visible today.
The two saint statues from this hermitage, depicting Paul of Thebes and Anthony Abbot, are now displayed at the Heideportal of Burg Wissem museum. They reflect the spiritual importance this location held for believers in the region.
The site is accessible from County Road 20 Mauspfad via a marked narrow path through woodland. Sturdy footwear is recommended since the route crosses natural terrain and forest ground.
The Ringelstein foundation was the focal point of a pilgrimage tradition where believers traveled to the site every Friday during Lent between 1670 and 1803. This regular devotional practice established the hermitage as a regional pilgrimage destination for local communities.
