Eremitenklause Börrstadt

The Eremitenklause features a rectangular space measuring four by three meters with a ribbed vault ceiling carved directly into the rock formation.

Dating back to 1468, the forest surrounding the hermitage was named Klausenbusch, indicating the early presence of this religious retreat in the area.

The interior chapel contains stone-carved consoles near the east wall, suggesting the previous placement of an altar oriented towards natural light from the window.

Located one kilometer northwest of Hahnweilerhof, the site includes a spring that channels drinking water to the surrounding community since 1911.

The structure combines a natural cave formation with human-carved architectural elements, including a doorway measuring 1.80 meters in height.
