Kloster Eberbach is a former Cistercian monastery founded in 1135. Located in the Rheingau wine region, it flourished for over 800 years as a functioning monastery before its secularization in 1803 during the Napoleonic Wars. The architectural style reflects various periods, including Romanesque and Gothic elements. Notably, the basilica showcases significant Gothic architecture and houses notable artistic treasures.

Beyond its religious history, Kloster Eberbach gained prominence as a filming location for scenes in the 1986 film *The Name of the Rose*. Today, it operates as a state-owned cultural heritage site and winery, hosting concerts and events that utilize its unique acoustics and historical atmosphere.
