Klosterkirche St. Märgen

The Klosterkirche St. Märgen stands in the Black Forest region, featuring baroque architecture with detailed stone carvings and ornate decorative elements throughout its structure.

Founded in 1118 as Cella Sanctae Mariae, the church underwent five reconstructions after fires, with the most recent restoration following a lightning strike in 1907.

The church houses works by Matthias Faller, a significant woodcarver from southern Germany who created religious sculptures during the Rococo period.

The church opens daily from April to November, offering guided tours in German and English, with special arrangements available for groups of more than 10 people.

The adjacent monastery museum contains one of southwest Germany's largest collections of Black Forest clocks and regional jewelry from medieval times.
