Hornbach, Historic municipality in Südwestpfalz, Germany
The municipality of Hornbach sits at an elevation of 115 meters between the rivers Hornbach and Schwalb, near the French border in Rhineland-Palatinate.
Saint Pirmin established a monastery in Hornbach in 737, and the settlement received official town rights from King Charles IV in 1352.
The New Church, constructed in 1785, stands next to the former monastery complex, representing centuries of religious and architectural development in the region.
The monastery building now functions as a hotel and restaurant complex, offering accommodations and dining options for visitors to Südwestpfalz.
Medieval defensive walls with town gates encircle Hornbach, as documented in historical maps from 1704, preserving its original urban layout.
