Klosterkirche Comburg

Klosterkirche Comburg is a baroque church on a hilltop near Schwäbisch Hall with a ring wall and several religious buildings in its complex. The entire area contains various structures that together form a closed monastery compound.

The site was founded in 1078 by Count Burkhardt II, and changed from a Benedictine monastery to a collegiate church for nobles in 1488. This shift shaped its later development and use.

The interior shows works by artists from different periods, with sculptures and a special wheel chandelier visible. Visitors can see the differences between medieval and baroque elements in these pieces.

Visitors can explore both exterior and interior spaces, with the hilltop location offering good views of the surroundings. It is advisable to bring comfortable shoes, as the terrain is uneven.

St. Erhard's Chapel from the 12th century still contains visible parts from two different artistic styles and shows the long construction history of the site. Such transitions between periods are clearly visible inside.
