Marienberg Abbey

The Marienberg Monastery in Boppard, Rhineland-Palatinate, is a former Benedictine nunnery and a significant cultural monument in the Rhein-Hunsrück district. Since 2002, it has been part of the UNESCO World Heritage Upper Middle Rhine Valley.
History+
Around 1125, the Marienberg Monastery was founded and placed under the Benedictine Abbey of St. Matthias. It was consecrated to Saint Mary. From the mid-15th century, following a monastic reform, the convent was headed by its own abbess. A devastating fire in 1738 led to its reconstruction in Baroque style. In the course of secularization in 1802, the monastery was dissolved and subsequently converted into a cold-water sanatorium. After World War II, the Ursulines used the building as a monastery and school until 1981, after which it largely stood vacant.

The Marienberg Monastery is situated at approximately 105 m above sea level in Boppard, a town in the Rhein-Hunsrück district of Rhineland-Palatinate. The complex is located in the Upper Middle Rhine Valley.
