Deutz Abbey, Romanesque church in Deutz, Germany
The stone structure of Deutz Abbey stands on the eastern bank of the Rhine River, featuring remnants of its original Romanesque architecture and cellar foundations.
Archbishop Heribert established Deutz Abbey in 1003 on the site of a former Roman fort, serving as a Benedictine monastery until the Napoleonic period.
The former abbey church of Alt St. Heribert now functions as a center for the Greek Orthodox community in Cologne, reflecting the city's religious diversity.
The main building of the former abbey currently operates as a retirement home managed by Caritas, providing care services for elderly residents.
The site contains mural paintings created by Werner Weber, while the shrine of Saint Heribert resides in the newer Neu St. Heribert church building.
