Schöntal Monastery Pharmacy

Highlight • Historical Site

Founded as a Cistercian abbey by Maulbronn monks in the picturesque Jagst valley in 1157, the monastery has developed into a powerful and flourishing monastery complex over the centuries. Schöntal Monastery impresses today with its monumental appearance and the variety of buildings from the Middle Ages to the Baroque. The monastery owes its imposing baroque appearance above all to Abbot Benedikt Knittel (1650-1732). The new abbey, the convent and the monastery church, as well as the holy grave chapel on the Kreuzberg were created during his tenure from 1683.

Even today, the fine, detailed elaborations and the loving stucco ceilings bear witness to great craftsmanship. Abbot Knittel's inscriptions in the form of chronograms or poems are a literary specialty of Schöntal.

A great construction! This reminds a little of the bike bridge over the Rhine near Kehl-Strasbourg.

Jagst Pedestrian Bridge

This bridge was built especially for the Kocher-Jagst cycle path. A very elegant bridge.

The castle dates back to the Middle Ages and was expanded into its current form in the 15th century. It is picturesquely situated on the banks of the Jagst River and impresses with its solid stonework and historic flair. Today, it is privately owned but houses, among other things, a hotel and serves as a venue for the Jagsthausen Castle Festival, where Goethe's "Götz von Berlichingen" is performed annually on the open-air stage.

July 6, 2024,Berlichingen - Schöntal - Altkrauthausen u. retour
Day 2 of our Jagst Valley bike tour. Today from Jagsthausen via Berlichingen to Schöntal and along the idyllic Jagst to Altkrautheim and back largely on the same route. We stopped off at the Klostercafe Schöntal and enjoyed some really good Maultaschen "Schwabenglück" there. And thanks to the weather app we were back at the starting point in time before …
