Hasungen Abbey

In 1074 a monastery was built, on the authority of Siegfried I, Archbishop of Mainz, over the grave of the hermit Heimerad (d. 1019), who had a little chapel and hermitage here.

The historian Lambert of Hersfeld (d. circa 1088) was possibly abbot of Hasungen towards the end of his life.

After the Reformation the buildings fell into ruins, except for the tower of the abbey church, which however in 1876 a bolt of lightning struck and destroyed.
