Founded in 1394, this monastery has had a rich and eventful history. After the dissolution of the monastic community in 1815, the building served several purposes. Today, the Kloster Frenswegen Foundation, founded in 1974 by various religious communities and the Herrnhuter Brüdergemeinschaft, is responsible for the management of the monastery. A visit to the chapel, cloister and courtyard is highly recommended. A relaxing walk around the house, to the southern garden and the labyrinth is also worthwhile. End your visit with a well-deserved rest in the monastery café.

Founded in 1394, this monastery has a long, checkered history. After the convent was dissolved in 1815, the building was used in a variety of ways. Today, the Frenswegen Monastery Foundation, founded in 1974 by the Evangelical-Lutheran, the Evangelical-Reformed, the Evangelical-Old Reformed, the Evangelical-Free Church, the Catholic communities and the Moravian Brotherhood, is the host. I recommend a visit to the chapel, the cloister and the inner courtyard. Or just a walk around the house, to the south garden and to the labyrinth. Afterwards, you can take a little break in the monastery café.
