Münster Schwarzach, Benedictine abbey church in Rheinmünster, Germany
The Münster Schwarzach stands as a large brick structure featuring Romanesque architectural elements, with red sandstone details and decorated capitals inside the building.
Founded in 826, the monastery relocated from a Rhine island between Drusenheim and Stollhofen to its current location in Schwarzach under the direction of Count Ruthard.
The church houses seven bells in its crossing tower, with the largest bell, Sancte Benedicte, measuring 1500 millimeters in diameter.
The church maintains two organs: a main instrument with 42 registers installed by Klais Orgelbau in 1969 and a smaller choir organ added in 1971.
The Schwarzacher Köpfchen, a small painted glass panel from the late 10th century, represents Europe's oldest preserved figurative glass painting.
