The monastery location is well worth seeing! The former Cistercian abbey was one of the most important monasteries in Central Saxony in the Middle Ages. The terrain is huge. Unfortunately, only a few buildings are well preserved. But it all gives an impressive overview of the “small town”.

Caspar David Friedrich found the mystical landscape with the old pointed arches of the abbey, the hidden bridges and gnarled old trees particularly inspiring. He sketched the abbey, the bulk building and the wine cellar. However, he was particularly fascinated by the ruins of the summer dining room. The sketch from 1800 became the painting “Ruins at Dusk” thirty years later. Today you can still enjoy a simple life with nature in the Altzella monastery hostel, just like the Cistercians used to do back then. You can spend what feels like days on the winding paths of the castle park. So plan enough time for your visit and maybe even take part in a guided tour: kloster-altzella.de.
