Lorsch Abbey

The former abbey in Lorsch is a UNESCO world heritage site and only a 30 minute drive north of Heidelberg. We had never checked it out before. The abbey, together with its monumental entrance, the 9-th century 'Torhall', are rare architectural vestiges of the Carolingian era.


Only a part of teh church is left of the abbey:
