Stuben Monastery Ruins, Bremm, Germany

Opposite Bremm on a peninsula is the former Stuben Monastery with its impressive church ruins. The complex was founded at the beginning of the 12th century by the Augustinian nuns of the Springiersbach Abbey.

Today, only the outer walls remain, except for the west wall. The monastery is mainly used for open-air events in summer. The view of the ruins from Calmont is particularly impressive.

Nice ruins. Was here in December/January 2021/2022 and it was closed (can't go inside the ruins) so don't know if it's open normally or not but it looks nice and the path to go there is either doable by car, foot or bike. Last 200m or so is a dirt road so not advisable by car or city bike (mountain bike would be fine I think). Would definitely go there after hiking the Calmont route or visiting Bremm/Eller.

The ruin itself does not provide a lot. Just by being there it adds to the greatness of the big Mosel bend

It is bit difficult to enter the monastery, as there is an iron fence in the gates. It is possible for moderately athletic people to climb over the fence. In the summer, lizards can be spotted in large numbers behind the main ruins. Nice for a walk.

Church of St Donatus

The Church of St Donatus name refers to Donatus of Zadar, who began construction on this church in the 9th century and ended it on the northeastern part of the Roman forum. It is the largest Pre-Romanesque building in Croatia.

The beginning of the building of the church was placed to the second half of the 8th century, and it is supposed to have been completed in the 9th century. The Zadar bishop and diplomat Donat (8th and 9th centuries) is credited with the building of the church. He led the representations of the Dalmatian cities to Constantinople and Charles the Great, which is why this church bears slight resemblance to Charlemagne's court chapels, especially the one in Aachen, and also to the Basilica of San Vitale in Ravenna. It belongs to the Pre-Romanesque architectural period.

The circular church, formerly domed, is 27 m high and is characterised by simplicity and technical primitivism.
