Description
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Monastery of St. Michael German: Michaelskloster, on the Heiligenberg (Saints' Mountain) in Heidelberg, was a branch of the nearby Lorsch Abbey. The ruined complex that can be seen today was built beginning in 1023. The monastery was abandoned in the 16th century.
The first mention of the monastery is in the Lorsch codex, from the 12th century, which dates the founding of the monastery to 870. No remains of an earlier monastery have been found, so this might have been merely an estimate of the founding.
Thanks for your interest and viewing.

Lovely - hand-held or tripod?
Hendesse
For this shot I climbed on a wall and used a tripod, because I have photographed with a very small aperture to get more details.
