Lorch Monastery is visible from afar on the heights above the Rems Valley. It was founded by the Staufers in 1102 as a family burial ground.
Queen Irene of Byzantium, a daughter-in-law of Barbarossa, is the most famous Staufer buried here over 800 years ago. The heyday of the Benedictine monastery was in the late Middle Ages. Even today, the charming complex with church, enclosure, farm buildings and monastery garden, surrounded by a still completely preserved circular wall, can be visited.
In the chapter house is the Staufer rotunda. 30 m long and 4.5 m high, it vividly tells the story of the Staufer dynasty.
Information on opening hours, guided tours and entrance fees can be found here.
