The Rommersdorf Abbey in the Neuwied district of Heimbach-Weis was originally founded as a Benedictine monastery in 1117 and taken over by Premonstratensians in 1135. This makes it the oldest establishment of this order in the area of the old Archdiocese of Trier.

Church, cloister, and other buildings provide impressive insights into various architectural styles. Equally impressive is the variety of gardens that emerged in the 19th century following the then-fashionable landscape park style, which combine a colorful mix of different styles: Among these are the newly laid-out Baroque French Garden in front of the Orangerie, the English Garden next to the abbey, and the herb garden of the former monastery pharmacy in the cloister.

On Sundays and public holidays, volunteer guides lead tours at the full hour (or on request for groups of five or more) through the cloister, the chapter house, the church, the abbot's chapel, and the Baroque halls. The tour is free, but donations for the preservation of the site are welcome.

After the visit, the terrace café ORANGERIE invites guests to enjoy coffee and cake or savory dishes while taking in the view of the French Garden. Additionally, the abbey serves as a cultural venue: In May, the cloister concerts take place here, and in June/July, the Rommersdorf Festival is held.
