Kloster Lorch, Benedictine monastery in Lorch, Baden-Württemberg, Germany
The monastery stands at the narrowest section of the Rems Valley, featuring a Romanesque basilica with a central nave and remaining round tower.
Frederick I, Duke of Swabia, established the monastery in 1102 as a burial site for the Staufer dynasty and a center for education.
The monastery includes a historical garden that maintains traditional medieval plants and layouts from its active period as a religious institution.
Visitors can explore the monastery from Wednesday to Sunday between 11 AM and 6 PM, with reduced hours from November to February.
The central nave contains the Staufer family tomb from 1475, including the resting place of Irene, daughter of a Byzantine emperor.
