The origins of the Palatinate and the beginning of the construction of the monastery go back to the 10th century. In 1551 the monastery was closed and the Saxon elector donated it to the Pforta state school. In 1722 lightning destroyed the roof of the monastery church so badly that the church began to be demolished years later. Today it is a museum with a monastery church ruin, monastery garden and crypt, as well as some outbuildings. Really worth seeing.

Numerous exhibitions on history and excavations can be explored here, a must for all history buffs. I was particularly impressed by the crypt.

One of the most interesting imperial palaces... was an important imperial palace of the East Franconian kings Heinrich I and his son Otto I in the 10th century... In recent years a lot of money has been spent on the renovation and modernization of the museum. Definitely worth a visit.
