Abbey and Altenmunster of Lorsch - UNESCO World Heritage Site

The UNESCO World Heritage site of the Abbey and Altenmunster of Lorsch is a large, ruined monastery complex in Lorsch, south-western Germany. Although most of the monastery was destroyed during religious wars of the 16th and 17th centuries, the enigmatic Konigshalle (King's Hall) has remained, largely untouched. Built for an unknown purpose and left entirely alone by marauding armies and rebuilding peasants, it's one of the only remaining examples of Carolingian architecture - and it dates from the 9th century!
