Heiligkreuztal Monastery - The Story
CISTERCIAN CONVENT
The monastery was founded in 1227. A community of pious women had already come together in the neighboring village of Altheim 80 years earlier and were then allowed to join the Cistercian religious order. The monastery was named after a valuable relic, a splinter of Jesus' cross, donated by Count Egon von Griningen-Landau. The construction of the Romanesque monastery in the place initially known as "Wazzershaf" took almost twenty years.
