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.

Rosenborg Castle

Rosenborg Palace was built in the period 1606-34 as Christian IV’s summerhouse just outside the ramparts of Copenhagen. Christian IV was very fond of the palace and often stayed at the castle when he resided in Copenhagen, and it was here that he died in 1648. After his death, the palace passed to his son King Frederik III, who together with his queen, Sophie Amalie, carried out several types of modernisation.

The last king who used the place as a residence was Frederik IV, and around 1720, Rosenborg was abandoned in favor of Frederiksborg Palace.Through the 1700s, considerable art treasures were collected at Rosenborg Castle, among other things items from the estates of deceased royalty and from Christiansborg after the fire there in 1794.

Soon the idea of a museum arose, and that was realised in 1833, which is The Royal Danish Collection’s official year of establishment.
