Guided Tour with Kurt Lindner To experience medieval architecture from a unique perspective and vantage point, join us for a tour of the roof trusses above the vaults of the monastery church. The cross-ribbed vaults in Bronnbach showcase magnificent craftsmanship from the late Romanesque period. Until then, other church interiors either featured an exposed roof truss or had been fitted with a wooden ceiling, often painted. The Romanesque roof truss in Bronnbach, built around 1200, was as beautiful as it was prone to damage. Between 1424 and 1426, chronic structural damage had to be repaired with a new roof, the “hoche werck.” The resulting Gothic roof structure, which is well worth seeing, consists of a rafter roof with a collar beam and a standing truss. Elaborate wooden joints impressively showcase the carpentry skills of the Middle Ages. The roof truss is accessed via a steep tower staircase, leading to the ridge turret and the 12th-century stone vaults.
