Kloster Eberbach, located in Eltville am Rhein, Germany, is a former Cistercian monastery founded in 1135. Throughout its history, it served as a significant agricultural and economic center for the region, particularly noted for its viticulture – wine production remains central to its identity today. Following secularization in 1803, the monastery transitioned into state ownership and underwent restoration during the 19th century.

The complex is architecturally significant, showcasing Romanesque and Gothic styles with Baroque additions. Its basilica, refectory, and cellar vaults are particularly noteworthy features. Kloster Eberbach has been used as a filming location for several movies including “The Name of the Rose” and regularly hosts cultural events including concerts due to its exceptional acoustics and historical ambiance.
