    Hiking

    The monastery has existed here since 1261.

    The monastery church was built between 1325 and 1340.

    The old oak in front of the church is 450-500 years old!

    In the monastery church of the former Benedictine monastery from the 14th century. The impressive baroque high altar, the choir stalls with 70 seats and behind them the picture Bible from 1490 with 137 panel paintings.

    Hiking

    The Benedictine monastery was founded by Albrecht von Orlamünde in 1210, but moved several times before reaching its current location after 50 years. The monastery church has existed since 1340 because it was destroyed by fire. There was also an infirmary on the site to heal the sick. With the dissolution of the monasteries during the Reformation, the Preez monastery was converted into a convent for women.

    Unfortunately, the church is not open to the public, except by appointment. From the outside, however, the monastery is definitely an eye-catcher!
