Murbach Abbey, Religious monument in Murbach, France
The remaining section of Murbach Abbey includes a transept with two steeples and the east end with the quire, displaying Romanesque architectural elements.
Founded in 727 by Count Eberhard of Alsace, the Benedictine monastery expanded its influence through gifts, controlling three towns and thirty villages across the region.
The abbey emerged as an intellectual center of the Upper Rhine region from 850, maintaining a library with theological and historical manuscripts.
Located at 5 Rue de Lucerne in Murbach, visitors can explore the grounds and cemetery established within the former nave walls.
The abbey church represents one of the earliest vaulted Romanesque structures in the region, with ornate carvings at column bases and doorways.
