Bronnbach Abbey

Bronnbach Abbey was founded in 1150 and construction of the abbey church began on 16 May 1157. In 1193, Emperor Henry VI placed the abbey under the direct protection of the Holy Roman Empire. At the end of the Middle Ages, the abbey was rebuilt for more than a century in the Late Gothic style. On 16 March 1803, the secularisation of the abbey was pronounced. The religious community lasted until 1831 when the services were moved out of the abbey. The last monk of the community died in 1850. The abbey was again used by the monks for a few decades during the 20th century but was vacated by them in 1958.

The synagogue was originally built in 1730 and is now newly renovated and in liturgical use again. The synagogue consists of a prayer hall, precentor quarters, and bathhouse. A small 18th century building next to the Synagogue, which was the home of a Jewish family until about 1850, is used today for the museum galleries.
