Koenigsbruck Abbey

The abbey was founded in or around 1140 (or possibly in 1152) by Duke Frederick II of Swabia for Cistercian nuns.

It was one of the wealthiest religious houses in Alsace, and among other privileges had customs immunity for a ship on the Rhine.

Apart from a mill, there are no visible remains of the buildings except for a few foundation walls near the inn Au Vieux Couvent.

The abbey's later town house in Haguenau remains, the Hôtel de Koenigsbruck, Grand-Rue 142 (built in 1748), notable for its wrought iron work.
