[DE] "Die Prämonstratenserabtei Sayn bewacht seit über 800 Jahren den Eingang zum Brexbachtal. Die Abtei wurde im Jahr 1202 von den Sayner Grafen gegründet. Die Nordwand zieren Blendarkaden und farbige Außenbemalung aus dem 13. Jahrhundert. Glanzstücke der Kirche sind die Stumm-Orgel aus dem Jahr 1778 und der wertvolle Simonsschrein mit der Armreliquie des hl. Apostels Simon (um 1215). Sehenswert sind der Romanische Kreuzgang mit Brunnenhaus aus dem 13. Jahrhundert mit einmaliger Bemalung und die bemerkenswerten Grabmäler aus verschiedenen Epochen."

[EN] "The Premonstratensian Abbey of Sayn has been guarding the entrance to the Brexbachtal for more than 800 years, founded by the Sayner Counts in 1202. The north wall is adorned with blind arcades and 13th-century colored exterior paintings, with the Stumm organ from the year 1778 and the precious Simonsschrein with the arm relic of St. Simon the Apostle (circa 1215) Worth seeing are the Romanesque cloister with fountains house from the 13th century with a unique painting and the remarkable tombs from different eras."
