Kloster Blieskastel

The monastery complex includes the Holy Cross Chapel, constructed in 1682, displaying medieval architectural elements and religious structures for communal activities.

The monastery, founded in 1156 by Herman van Stahleck, became a pilgrimage site after the discovery of a 14th-century Pietà statue at the beginning of the 20th century.

The monastic grounds contain sculptural groups by artist Karl Riemann, representing religious themes within the landscaped gardens surrounding the buildings.

The monastery church houses an organ built in 1972 with 18 registers distributed across two manuals and pedals, offering regular religious services.

The monastery cemetery contains 30 burial sites of religious order members, marked by stone crosses displaying only the name and year of death.
