We visited Kloster Bebenhausen on a Saturday and though there were people there, it was not crowded at all, and parking was easy to find. Touring the monastery took us into varying rooms such as the dormitory (with bedrooms recreated - from lustrous to straw beds), church, interior garden/fountain, excavation site where you can see what looks to be buildings built lower (with roof tiles) than what is standing now, etc. You can easily spend hours exploring everything, as we did.

There is a small gift shop inside the information center, where you also buy your entry tickets. They have items such as books, decorative eggs (some that hang, others in a stand), their own whiskey, and other things.

What I have not seem before and found inspiring is that the grave sites have small gardens actually built on them where herbs, plants, and bushes grow. It would be nice to see this type of thing used more often instead of fake or dying flowers and plants.

The paintings on the walls and ceilings are beautiful, as well as the spiral staircase leading to the pulpit in the church. The whole place really is a...

Das Klosterschloss Bebenhausen ist zweifellos ein beeindruckendes historisches Juwel. Eingebettet in die malerische Landschaft des Schönbuchs, versprüht die Anlage eine besondere Atmosphäre, die sowohl Kloster- als auch Schlossgeschichte auf faszinierende Weise vereint. Schon beim Betreten der Anlage spürt man den Hauch vergangener Jahrhunderte. Die Architektur ist bemerkenswert: Die filigranen gotischen Elemente des Klosters gehen fließend über in die repräsentativen, prunkvollen Räume des Schlosses, das einst als Jagdschloss der württembergischen Könige diente. Besonders die Details der Innenräume, die Stuckverzierungen und die kunstvoll gestalteten Fenster, sind ein Highlight für jeden, der sich für Geschichte und Architektur interessiert.

Ein Rundgang durch das Kloster, die Kirche und die prachtvollen Gemächer des Schlosses bietet einen tiefen Einblick in die Geschichte der Region und des Landes. Die Ruhe, die den gesamten Komplex umgibt, macht den Besuch zu einem beinahe meditativen Erlebnis. Auch die gut erhaltenen Gärten tragen zu diesem besonderen Flair bei und laden zum Verweilen ein.

Leider wird dieses Erlebnis jedoch durch einen negativen Aspekt getrübt: der Empfang im Infocenter beziehungsweise an der Rezeption. Obwohl man als Besucher an einem so historischen Ort eine gewisse Wertschätzung erwarten würde, bleibt diese hier weitestgehend aus. Die Mitarbeiter am Empfang wirken desinteressiert und nehmen kaum Notiz von den Ankommenden. Eine freundliche Begrüßung oder eine kurze Einführung in das Gelände wären wünschenswert, doch stattdessen fühlt man sich eher übersehen. Auch bei Rückfragen oder dem Erwerb von Tickets ist eine gewisse Distanz spürbar, was das ansonsten großartige Erlebnis etwas schmälert.

Es ist schade, dass ein Ort von solcher historischer Bedeutung und Schönheit durch einen so nachlässigen Service an der Rezeption in seiner Wirkung beeinträchtigt wird. Trotz dieses Mankos bleibt das Klosterschloss Bebenhausen jedoch ein sehenswertes Ziel, das jeder, der sich für Kultur und Geschichte interessiert, einmal besucht haben sollte. Es wäre jedoch wünschenswert, dass der Empfang der Gäste diesem besonderen Ort in Zukunft etwas mehr...

Amazing place, it was so calm during the weekday, almost nobody else was there, I could breathe in the atmosphere of the place properly. I have bought the combi ticket, which allows you to go to the palace as well, but only with a guide. Normally the tour is in German only, but I was the only one guest at the time, so the guide did her best to explain a few things in English, which is normally not her task. That was well appreciated, amazing staff....

Probably the best castle tour we took. The old monastery has been preserved in its original state with its rich and storied history. The church is still in use and is closed to tourists on Sundays. The grounds are in excellent condition and give you true feeling of 16th century living. The tour of the castle was entirely in German but worth the € as it was super informative.
