1. Freilichtlabor Lauresham
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 17 reviews
The Lauresham open-air laboratory is located in the heart of the Lorsch Monastery, a UNESCO World Heritage site that was redesigned in 2014 and greatly expanded. The complex topic of manorialism, an important part of early medieval social structure, is being explained on the accessible 1:1 model covering an area of 4.1 hectares. This happens by means of an ideal-typical central yard of the 8/9th century. Additionally, Lauresham also represents a forum of experimental archaeological research for testing different mechanic and agricultural work techniques. Based on recent research results in settlement archaeology a team of experienced craftsmen established a building ensemble under supervision of academic bodies like the Institute for Archaeology at the University of Hamburg. This includes living and economic buildings, barns, and magazines as well as a chapel. In addition to these there are different kinds of economic useful areas – meadows, fields, and gardens.

Beeing a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1991, the concept around the former Imperial Abbey offers various perspectives on its history and research projects. With the redesign in 2014, the Lorsch World Heritage Site was expanded by two areas of education and research: the Lauresham Laboratory and the Exhibition Depot "Zehntscheune".

This is the ruins of a Monastery built by the Carolingian empire during the 8th century. What is left here is the front facade of the abbey and a structure of the church. They are very well maintained and the architecture is rather unique. If you like historical architecture, this is the place to be.

We went to Lorsch to see where I was born and stopped in at this church. It is a small but beautiful church and has beautiful steps going into it. The garden around is also very pretty.
