Let the almost 900-year-old abbey put you under its spell!

We begin with a walk through the monastery, in which you will gain insights into its colourful history and a first impression of its fascinating atmosphere.

You will understand why star director Jean-Jacques Annaud and producer Bernd Eichinger chose Kloster Eberbach in the mid-1980s when looking for a suitable location for their film adaptation of Umberto Eco's classic "The Name of the Rose": The masterful production of this bestseller in the winter of 1985/86 with Sean Connery in the lead role and its film run made Kloster Eberbach at a stroke famous all over the globe.
