Arnsburg Abbey

The roofless abbey church

Arnsburg Abbey (Kloster Arnsburg) is a former Cistercian monastery in the Wetterau, Hesse, Germany. It was founded from Eberbach Abbey in 1174. Secularized in 1803 and abandoned by its monks in 1810, its secular buildings were given to the counts Solms-Laubach, who adapted them as their seat. The abbey church stands as a ruin near Lich, Hesse; since 1960 it has been the site of a war memorial.
