Heiliges Grab

The Heiliges Grab features solid stone walls, rounded arches, and ornate arcading, following traditional Romanesque architectural principles of the medieval period.

The monastery complex was constructed to replicate Jerusalem's Holy Sepulchre, serving as a destination for German pilgrims who could not make the journey to Palestine.

The church interior contains numerous religious artworks and sculptures that represent different periods of German Christian artistic expression through the centuries.

Visitors can access the site through regular guided tours that explain the religious and architectural elements of both the church and monastery buildings.

The complex incorporates specific design elements from Jerusalem's sacred sites, including measured distances that correspond to locations in the Holy Land.
