Augustinerchorfrauenstift Andernach

The Augustinerchorfrauenstift stands at 50.4323°N and 7.40673°E, featuring architectural elements characteristic of medieval religious buildings in the Rhine region.

Founded in 750, this Augustinian convent operated continuously until 1802 when regional church reforms and secularization movements led to its closure.
