Stiftskirche Walbeck
Stiftskirche Walbeck, Roman monastery ruins in Walbeck, Germany.
The remnants of Stiftskirche Walbeck stand on a limestone cliff 25 meters above the Aller Valley, featuring large round arches and remaining sections of masonry.
Count Lothar II founded the monastery in 942 as a gesture of repentance after his involvement in a conspiracy against King Otto I of Germany.
The Stiftskirche Walbeck incorporates both Romanesque and pre-Romanesque architectural elements, making it a notable example of medieval German religious construction techniques.
The church ruins remain accessible throughout the year, with guided tours available through contact with Frau Jutta Pätz at the provided telephone number.
The sarcophagus of Count Lothar II, discovered during excavations of the church ruins, now resides in the local parish church of Walbeck.
