Schöntal Monastery Pharmacy

Highlight • Historical Site

Founded as a Cistercian abbey by Maulbronn monks in the picturesque Jagst valley in 1157, the monastery has developed into a powerful and flourishing monastery complex over the centuries. Schöntal Monastery impresses today with its monumental appearance and the variety of buildings from the Middle Ages to the Baroque. The monastery owes its imposing baroque appearance above all to Abbot Benedikt Knittel (1650-1732). The new abbey, the convent and the monastery church, as well as the holy grave chapel on the Kreuzberg were created during his tenure from 1683.

Even today, the fine, detailed elaborations and the loving stucco ceilings bear witness to great craftsmanship. Abbot Knittel's inscriptions in the form of chronograms or poems are a literary specialty of Schöntal.

The castle dates back to the Middle Ages and was expanded into its current form in the 15th century. It is picturesquely situated on the banks of the Jagst River and impresses with its solid stonework and historic flair. Today, it is privately owned but houses, among other things, a hotel and serves as a venue for the Jagsthausen Castle Festival, where Goethe's "Götz von Berlichingen" is performed annually on the open-air stage.

Today we wanted to use the time for another bike ride. We wanted to explore the Jagst Valley Cycle Path. Because we didn't want to cycle back the same way, I quickly planned a different route back. We parked in Dörzbach. The Jagst Valley Cycle Path turned out to be a very scenic route. When we passed Schöntal Monastery, we …

Best weather for driving. Today we went to Assamstadt via Windischbuch. Strengthened in Assamstadt at Müller Bäck, then on to Dörzbach.
Discovered three emus on the bike path. A rarity in Germany. From Dörzbach on to Krautheim in the direction of Schöntal Abbey. It's always fun to drive this route. The rest to Aries and home through the Kessachtal acht
