Neubourg Abbey

Neubourg Abbey was founded not earlier than 1130 and not later than 1133[1] by Count Reinhold of Lützelburg as a daughter house of Lützel Abbey of the filiation of Morimond; it was also settled by monks from Lützel.

Not long after it was founded, the abbey was the subject of an inquisition by Frederick Barbarossa, who forced the monks to renounce their claims to the valuable Hohenstaufen Forest.

It was rebuilt in 1758, but was entirely destroyed in 1818 along with virtually all of the monastic building complex.

There are very few remains: a Baroque gatehouse of 1744; a mill; and part of the precinct wall.

Some rococo items from the abbey church (the choir stalls, the organ case, statues of saints) are to be found in the nearby St. Nicholas' church, Haguenau.
