Eusserthal Abbey, Cistercian abbey in Eußerthal, Germany.

The front section of the abbey church stands as a parish church, constructed from local red sandstone with a three-aisled basilica layout and transept.

Founded in 1148 by knight Stephan of Mörlheim, the abbey received Imperial protection from Frederick Barbarossa in 1186, leading to numerous land donations.

The monks of Eusserthal served as chaplains at Trifels Castle and maintained responsibility for safeguarding the Imperial Regalia during the 12th century.

The remaining structure features excellent acoustics, making the church a location for summer concerts and musical performances throughout the season.

The church includes a sandstone relief sculpture of a dragon above a door arch and a rose window with intricate tracery in the choir wall.
