Monastery of Comburg

The monastery complex stands at 340 meters above sea level, featuring the Church of St. Nicholas and St. Erhard's Chapel within its fortified walls.

Count Burkhardt II of Rothenburg-Comburg converted his ancestral castle into a Benedictine monastery in 1078, establishing a religious center in the region.

The monastery maintains a collection of medieval manuscripts and religious artifacts, reflecting the educational traditions of the Benedictine order.

Visitors can access the Stiftskirche St. Nikolaus through guided tours from April to October, with admission fees of 5 euros for adults.

The monastery's treasury contains an antependium from 1130, decorated with gilded copper plates depicting religious scenes and figures.
