Monastery Market at the Limburg: 2026 programme confirmed
Within the walls of the Limburg monastery ruins, craft, indulgence and music invite visitors to an atmospheric market with far-reaching views over the Palatinate.
The Monastery Market in the Limburg ruins is one of the most atmospheric events of the Dürkheim year — and the programme for 2026 has now been confirmed. Within the impressive walls of the former Salian Benedictine monastery on the Limburgberg, artisans present their work, from ceramics and jewellery to textiles. Alongside them, Palatinate specialities, wine from the surrounding wineries and live music draw the crowds. The view from the ruins over the Rhine plain and the vineyards makes the market a special experience. The market is held in autumn, when the vines turn colour. The monastery ruins, founded in 1035, today serve as a venue for concerts and markets alike.
