Eberbach Abbey.
Introduction
Eberbach Abbey is a former Cistercian monastery founded in 1136 by Bernard of Clairvaux. Its Romanesque and early Gothic architecture make of it one of the most significant historical sites in Hesse. The interior scenes of the 1985-6 film 'The Name of the Rose' were shot in the abbey.
