St. Maria ad ripa, Benedictine monastery in Trier, Germany.
The monastery stands near the northern city walls of Trier, along the banks of the Moselle River at the intersection of religious and urban life.
Founded in 667, St. Maria ad ripa operated as a religious center until 1802 when Napoleon's forces led to its dissolution and partial demolition.
The monastery represented one of four major Benedictine institutions outside Trier's walls, contributing to the religious education and spiritual guidance of the region.
The remaining structures of the monastery now function as a youth center called ExHaus, maintaining the location's connection to community service.
An 1808 watercolor by Johann Jakob Lothary captures the original form of the monastery, preserving its architectural appearance for future generations.
