Hiking

in front of the monastery church St. Marien

Hiking

The monastery church has stood in Riesa since 1261, originally built in the Gothic style and later supplemented with Baroque. Over the centuries, an impressive choir with a star net vault, an altar with a carved altarpiece and a baptismal font were added, all of which have been preserved to this day. The three crypts in the church served as burial places for the local manor owners in the Middle Ages and can be visited from time to time.

The history of the monastery church can be read here: kirche-riesa.de/klosterkirche Unfortunately, the church is not accessible during the day. To the right of the church is the entrance to the monastery and zoo (admission required).
