Description
For more than a thousand years, Schuttern Monastery was influential in shaping the spiritual, social and political climate in the Upper Rhine Plain. The abbey is thought to have been founded in the 7th century and survived until 1806. Behind the former collegiate church, there is now a museum which details the foundation’s history – from the earliest archaeological remains via medieval treasure hoards to a visit by Marie Antoinette in 1770.
