Amorbach Abbey Description

To the south of the Markt in Amorbach is the fine Baroque church (with two towers) of the old Benedictine abbey which stood here. Originally Romanesque, it was remodeled in Baroque style in 1742-47 by the Mainz court architect Maximilian von Welsch. The light interior, sumptuously decorated, is one of the finest Roccoco creations in Germany. There is a famous Baroque organ (recitals in summer).
