We were a large party and organised a guided tour which was excellent. The welcome was very good. Parking is very easy.

The Bronnbach former monastery is situated in a beautiful impressive area. A need to visit place when staying in the region Miltenberg-Wertheim in Franken, Bavaria.

Well worth the short drive from Wertheim. Quiet village, few tourists, and a really beautiful old building with cloisters. Check the opening times first. Gaudy, gold interior to the church with cherubs everywhere, but the cloisters are beautiful.

This monastry is old, stylish and has one of the most beautiful churches one can find in Germany. Yet it is a quite place, somewhat remote (10 miles from Wertheim).

Cistercian monasteries are often the most interesting. The philosophy of a self-sustaining existence leads to a somewhat common architecture style. Often placed by streams and rivers, the Cistercian monasteries usually have mills and sometimes forges. Bronnbach is no exception.
The building is under a long-term, incremental renovation. The administration has opted to sponsor concerts and the sale of local wines. The halls are often used for weddings and other social events.
As a tourist destination it has advantages and shortcomings, most related to the relatively limited tourist flow. Schedules are annoyingly flexible and things often seem disorganized. The tour we took was highly informative and our guide extremely knowledgeable. On the positive side, the lack of visitors enabled us to move freely and at our own pace.
The cafe offered a nice variety of tasty cakes and pastries. The wine degustation could have been more informative and better thought out. Instead, it was more of a restaurant portion at a very reasonable price. Alas, it was not informative enough for us to make our usual purchase of bottled wines.
Still, Kloster Bronnbach is well worth the small entrance fee.

This Cistercian monastery has wonderful views over the surrounding countryside as it's set high on a hill. The ascent via road is the best way to get there but there are countless steps up to the monastery from way below if you want to take the pilgrimage.
The church is only small but worth a look and does have some nice photo opportunities. We had one of the handful (ie four) of remaining monks talk to us and he gave a short organ recital which was interesting. He seemed to do a lot of the work around the place including the cooking. He's the youngest monk - at 72yo!
There is a restaurant/café, though, that caters for tourists. There is inside and outside seating available. The apple pie is to die for.
There are some nice garden areas - only small - but worth a wander. And you will see the headstones of a number of the earlier monks.
A nice sojourn if you have some spare time and like to see nice views of the countryside.

The monastery is located outside Wertheim. Very large monastery that had various functions over the centuries. In the cellar there is a tasting room where you can buy various wines from local winegrowers.
