Maulbronn Monastery

The entire complex is definitely worth to visit (for free). However, I doubt in value of visiting the monastery building (with entry fee).

What a fantastique village style place. Outer parts can be visited for free and the remarkable monastery itself offers tours and audioguides. I recommend these to get more spoken details as signposting is limited to German and rather short. The place is of stunning architecture and an unbelievable relaxing quietness. Heavenly silence on earth with a dribbling fountain 😉

10/10. This is great for groups or solo explorers. Tours are also available.

Nothing special. If you are an experienced traveler, it could be just a nice getaway for a couple of hours, to enjoy the good weather and tranquility of the place. However, no need to go there deliberately. Wheelchair accessible outside only, all in paving slabs. You can get inside with a push chair.

Wonderful and well preserved Middle Ages monastery. The audio guide tour is easy to follow and very informative. A MUST see for anyone in the area!

Best preserved medieval Monastery north of the Alps.

This is an absolute treasure. The monastery and surrounding buildings are very well preserved. We visited in the morning during the week in early June and basically had the place to ourselves.

Really nice monastery full with interesting small spots to discover. Paying the ticket to go inside is totally worthy. Don't forget to get the secret path to the nearby lake.

Maulbronn Monastery Complex earned the UNESCO world heritage site status in 1993, and it is also one the Europe's most complete and best-preserved medieval monastery complexes. You can get an audio guide at 2 euros in multiple languages, tho no Mandarin. The audio guide provides lots of information and can help you better understand the place. You can feel the tranquility once stepping inside the building. It's recommended to bring a jacket since it is freezing.
