The ruins of the Arnsburg Cistercian monastery are an important architectural monument. The actual monastery buildings form the center of the complex. The extensive construction of the Arnsburg church was probably started in 1197. In the years 1959-1960, a unique cemetery for war victims was laid out in the cloister of the monastery, encouraging reflection.
