    Definitely visit from the outside as well as from the inside ... also with a beautiful view of the Saale to the left of the church

      Born in Switzerland, Kilian Stauffer brought the wonderful art of stucco marble around the 18th century to the then dilapidated monastery and helped it to shine.

        Idyllically situated on the Saale and surrounded by forest. The monastery was built in 1189, orphaned in 1554 after the Markgräfler war. In 1699 it was rebuilt in the Baroque style and developed into a popular place of pilgrimage. The unmarried earls of Rieneck lived here as nuns.
