Kloster Eberbach, located in Eltville am Rhein, Germany, is a former Cistercian monastery with a rich history dating back to 1135. Founded by monks from Clairvaux, it flourished for centuries as an important center of viticulture and wine production within the region. The monastery’s architecture represents a transition from Romanesque to Gothic styles. Following secularization in 1803, the Kloster Eberbach transitioned into state ownership and underwent restoration.

Today, it is primarily known as a significant winery producing Riesling wines and as a cultural venue. Its acoustics are highly regarded, making it a popular location for classical music concerts and film shoots – notably featuring in the film *The Name of the Rose*.
