Monastery garden in the monastery of Eberbach

Eberbach Monastery is a former Cistercian monastery in the Rheingau, a wine-growing region on the right bank of the Rhine near Wiesbaden. The monastery was founded in 1136 and the main buildings are built in Romanesque and Gothic style. Although the monastery was dissolved in 1803, the buildings are very well preserved, as the complex was further used as barracks and reformatory, among other things. For some time the premises were also used as a lunatic asylum. Today the monastery houses conference rooms and a famous winery. For the filming of Umberto Eco's medieval monastery thriller "The Name of the Rose" it even served as a film set.
