Bärbach monastery ruins
The Bärbach monastery ruins are the partially overbuilt remains of a Clariss monastery from the beginning of the 14th century, located in a side valley of the Rupbach in the area of today's municipality of Schönborn in the Rhein-Lahn district in Rhineland-Palatinate .
The monastery was first mentioned in 1339 and abolished in 1567, after which the property was transferred to the Gronau Hospital . The building was destroyed around 1584. Of the single-nave, four-bay Gothic monastery church with a narrower, square, flat, closed choir , only a small part of the north wall and gable of the nave have been preserved, and some remains of the monastery buildings and the surrounding walls are visible.
The bell of the old monastery church hangs in the Protestant church in Wasenbach .
