Former Cistercian Monastery Grünhain

The former Cistercian monastery existed from 1230 to 1536. The Reformation contributed as in many places to its dissolution. Today, you can walk through the former monastery grounds and admire the remaining fountains, the nave, the Fuchsturm and the exposed foundations of the former monastery church.
