🎧  Listen to Introduction

Founded in 1147, the Cistercian Abbey of Maulbronn is considered the most complete and best-preserved medieval monastic complex north of the Alps. The main buildings of the abbey were built between the 12th and 16th centuries and are surrounded by defensive walls. The abbey's church is mainly in the Transitional Gothic style and had a major influence on the spread of Gothic architecture throughout much of Northern and Central Europe. Maulbronn's water management system with its complex network of drainage systems, irrigation canals and reservoirs is very remarkable.
