Klosterkirche Lobenfeld

Klosterkirche Lobenfeld is a church building in Lobbach featuring a cross-shaped plan with Romanesque elements in the east and Gothic sections made of large sandstone blocks. The structure reveals different construction phases through its varied architectural style and materials.

Founded before 1150 by Augustinian canons, the monastery received imperial confirmation in 1181 from Emperor Frederick Barbarossa protecting its lands and possessions. This royal endorsement ensured the institution's security and influence for centuries.

The church serves as a gathering space for worship and musical performances that reflect the community's spiritual life. The presence of the 1773 Dickel organ shapes how visitors experience the interior during services and concerts.

Access to the church is arranged through the Evangelical congregation office in Lobenfeld, which can be reached by phone or email for scheduling visits. Plan ahead to confirm availability, especially if you want to attend a service or concert.

Decades of abandonment actually preserved the building, preventing major restoration work that would have obscured its original architectural layers. Visitors can clearly see how different construction periods are literally built into the walls.
