The former Cistercian nunnery was built in 1292. It includes the prior house, the monastery school, the courtyard pond, the church with the vicarage. The ensemble is a listed building. It has a checkered history and restoration work only began in the early 1990s.

Hiking

Historic monastery that is gradually being saved by an association and appears in its old beauty. Unfortunately, large parts are currently still in a deplorable condition. Can only be viewed from the outside.

A detour to the monastery is worthwhile.
