The Kloster Heisterbach lies between Oberdollendorf and Heisterbacherrott. It was built in 1202 for the Cistercian monk order. This church was one of the oldest Roman churches in the region, until it was finally destroyed. The famous monk Cesarius lived here in the thirteenth century; and his fondness for bronze is found in Oberdollendorf. Today, the choir ruins, the former kitchen area, the Old Brewing House, and the cloister walls can be seen. Various sculptures have also been preserved.
