Hornbach monastery, Benedictine monastery in Pirmasens, Germany
The stone structures of Hornbach monastery include a basilica with five towers, two apses, and remaining convent buildings near the Schwarzbach brook.
Saint Pirmin established the monastery in 741, and after his death in 753, his burial within the grounds increased its importance as a religious center.
The monastery complex includes a museum displaying religious artifacts and documents that detail the connections between Hornbach and neighboring spiritual centers.
The former abbey buildings now function as a hotel complex with a restaurant, while maintaining a dedicated space for the monastery museum.
The rediscovery of Saint Pirmin's tomb in 1953 led to the return of his remains to Hornbach, establishing a new chapel for preservation.
