Michaelskloster (St. Michael’s Monastery)

These ruins is all that is left of St. Michael's Monastery that was built in 1023 by Abbott Reginbald. This place became a pilgrimage after Reginbald's death in 1070. In 1503, the steeple collapsed, killing the last three monks. Ever since that incident, the monastery has been abandoned and left to ruins. Then in 1589, the university tore down the stones and tried to sell them, which turned out to be an unsuccessful attempt. Now it is a tourist attraction to see the remainders of the ruins.

Michaelskloster is located at the top of Heiligenberg, you can reach it by hiking up Philisophenweg, the site is located behind Thingstatte.
