Ruins of the Benedictine monastery that was once among the most influential in Europe. Founded in about 830 by Count Erlafried of Calw and re-founded, after a period of decline, in 1059 by abbot William of Hirsau, who brought it to international prominence as the origin of the Hirsau Reforms. It was secularised in 1558, and the buildings were destroyed by the French in 1692.
