Murbach

            The famous Benedictine abbey .
Murbach Abbey was established in 727 by the count Eberhard d'Eguisheim, brother of Luitfried, duke of Alsace, nephew of saint Odile of Hohenbourg.and powerful lord who had just lost his only heir. To achieve his goal, he called saint Pirmin, who had already established or organized several monasteries and notably Reichenau. According to record by monk and scholar Hermann Contract, Pirmin came to Murbach accompanied by twelve monks from Reichenau. The abbey was called "Vivarius Peregrinorum" (peregrine's pool), which certify according to authors the presence of Scotch or Irish monks among the first monks. St. Benedict's rule was introduced at the time.
