History and Churches

Remse’s central historic landmark is Roter Stock. The visible remains of the former Benedictine monastery of Roter Stock are considered a tourist attraction; the building is the only surviving one from the medieval monastery. It presumably incorporates the Romanesque westwerk of the former three-aisled monastery church and stands directly opposite a single-aisled Romanesque church.

The church in Remse was first mentioned in the mid-13th century and was later extensively restored inside; the floors were also relaid during this work. Visitors are welcome to attend services or special events in Remse’s small village churches.

The monastery was formally dissolved during the Reformation around 1533. After its dissolution, the monastery and its property belonged to the Lords of Schönburg and continued to be used as their manor house.
