St. Michael's Church Schwanberg

Highlight • Religious Site

The Schwanberg is the headquarters of the Evangelical-Lutheran religious community of Casteller Ring, which lives in the spirit of the rule of St. Benedict. About 25 sisters live and work here. The St. Michaelskirche, consecrated in 1987, is the spiritual center of the community. The center of the church is the altar with its heavy granite slab, which is carried by eight angels with their hands raised. A tour of the church with a wonderful description can be found here: ccr-schwanberg.de/st-michaelskirche. The bells (including visitors and guests) invite you to pray for the hour four times a day. Thousands of people come to the Schwanberg each year to experience the spiritual and family atmosphere, spiritual orientation and community that emanate from the hourly prayers and church services. The three guest houses are ideal for groups, meetings and family stays.

Prinzessinnenbad

Highlight • Natural

The princess bath
The banks of the princess baths once served as a romantic seat, which revealed a view of forests and meadows. In the course of the refurbishment of the park, this place will be brought back to life in the foreseeable future.
