Monastery Spieskappel, Religious monastery in Frielendorf, Germany

The Romanesque basilica contains preserved sections of the nave and northern aisle, with late Gothic windows illuminating its eastern end.

The monastery complex experienced significant damage in 1301 during the fire of Kappel and faced looting during the Sterner War in 1372.

The columns inside the church feature capitals decorated with human figures between leaf tendrils and heads with intertwined hair patterns.

The monastery church currently functions as the parish church of Frielendorf-Spieskappel and maintains regular opening hours for visitors.

Between 1769 and 1771, Johannes Schlottmann from Bad Hersfeld constructed an ornate Rococo organ for the monastery church.
