Building ensemble of the former Dominican convent in Cronschwitz - donated in 1238 as a pure aristocratic convent for the unmarried daughters of the Vogtland nobility; as the house monastery of the bailiffs of Weida, Gera, Plauen and the House of Reuss, this monastery was equipped with numerous rights as a partial burial place and was the richest in the Vogtland until the Reformation; today there are only a few remains of the wall (monastery garden, monastery church), the former guest house (today the vicarage) as well as the refectory and coach house;
