St. George Abbey and Stadtkirche in Stein Am Rhein

On my third visit to Stein Am Rhein, I took these photos of the St. George Abbey. This former Benedictine monastery now houses a museum which will open next month. Perhaps I will make another trip to this painfully beautiful medieval town to see what’s behind these walls.

Right on the Rhine River

The Stadtkirche (city church) next to the monastery was built in the 12th C. During the reformation it converted to a Reformed (Protestant) church.

Are these the 12 Apostles times two? Whoever they are, I have not seen a door quite like this one before.
