St. George's Abbey, Stein am Rhein — Attraction in Stein am Rhein

Beautiful medieval monastery from the 11 century , went through centuries being rebuild now functioning as museum . This is one of the best maintained 11 century monuments in the entire country , standing right by the river and left to the bridge as you enter from the ,considered old main road ( access is also made on the other parts of stein am Rhein village .

Went to visit stein am Rhein and I could not leave town without visiting the museum and the experience was great ! It's very beautiful inside ,having walls explaining the many happening trough the ages ,many rooms maintained as original and other more modern with more information.

It's a architecture marvel ,there are so many rooms inside that look so different ,even having so many distinct colours .

The entrance is paid ( also to maintain the monastery ) ,access with well chairs is very easy but there are rooms with stairs ,and I didn't see wheelchair adapted stair , parking space is only possible outside the stein am Rhein town ,on the far right when you enter trough the bridge ,it's very large ans also has WC.

Overall a beautiful monastery almost surrounded by even more beautiful town !

A must to any...
