Alpirsbach Abbey, Benedictine monastery in Black Forest, Germany.
The stone monastery features a late Gothic conclave, a preserved reeves' residence tower, and a traditional Benedictine layout with east-facing church and cloister.
Three noblemen, including Count of Zollern and Count of Sulz, donated 50 square kilometers of property to establish the monastery in 1095.
The monastery museum exhibits artifacts from its thousand-year existence, including medieval clothing and personal items discovered during the 1958 excavation.
The monastery hosts classical music concerts five times annually during summer months in the restored cloister space.
The surviving tower from 1099 stands as the oldest structure within the complex, maintaining its original late Romanesque defensive architecture features.
