The garden
The garden
In the east of the monastery there is a garden which can be entered from various rooms. Little is known about the appearance and use of the garden in historical times. As the terrain slopes steeply from the church down to the Rhine, three terraces were created. On the uppermost terrace, a show garden for culinary and medicinal herbs was planted in 2003. In historical times, a cemetery was located here. The lowest part of the garden lies directly on the banks of the Rhine. This part is also called the Bannhof. There is direct access to the garden from the abbot's flats. It is assumed that the abbots were able to use this part of the garden for themselves.
