Limburg Abbey Ruin

Bad Duerkheim, Germany

In the 9th century, the Salian Dukes from Worms built a fortress on the Linthberg as their family seat.
In the early 11th century, the fortress was converted into a monastery with a basilica. It existed until the mid 16th century. (Source: Wikipedia)

The detail is especially sharp. It's been left to the elements for 400 - 500 years. Quite a stand!
