Parish of St. Remigius

The Provostry of St. Remigius is a former Benedictine monastery located on the Remigius Mountain between Haschbach am Remigiusberg and Theisbergstegen in the district of Kusel. It existed from 1127 to 1526 and belonged to the Abbey of Saint-Remy in Reims. The former provost church is the only building that has been preserved.

The area around Kusel and Altenglan, later known as Remigiusland, had been in the possession of the Archdiocese of Reims since at least the 9th century. The exclave, which spiritually belonged to the Archdiocese of Mainz, was handed over to the monastery of St. Remy in Reims in 952. A document from the German King Otto I. from the same year confirms the monastery of St. Remy’s ownership of the Remigiusland and an abbey in Kusel.
