St. Marx Abbey, 12th-century abbey in Gueberschwihr, France
The stone walls of St. Marx Abbey rise against the backdrop of Gueberschwihr, featuring traditional Alsatian architectural elements and religious motifs throughout the structure.
Founded on January 17, 1101, the abbey initially operated under St. George's Abbey supervision until 1754, when oversight transferred to Ebersmünster Abbey.
The Sisters of St. Joseph maintain daily religious practices within the abbey, continuing centuries-old traditions of monastic life in the Haut-Rhin region.
Visitors can reach the abbey by taking the D83 highway from Colmar and following the signs to Gueberschwihr, with parking available near the entrance.
The abbey contained a beer brewery constructed in 1710, demonstrating the self-sufficient nature of religious communities in medieval Alsace.
