The monastery church Ichtershausen is the parish church of the village Ichtershausen in Thuringia. It was until the abrogation in 1539 a Cistercian convent and is now Protestant and St. George and Mary consecrated. It belongs to the parish office Ichtershausen-Holzhausen in the church district Arnstadt-Ilmenau the Evangelical Church in Central Germany (Wikipedia).
The church (St. George and Mary) is a former Cistercian convent and has two galleries on the south side. The Nordschiff was rebuilt in 2000 by prisoners of the prison Ichtershausen, but due to its simple construction, it does not fit in with the rest of the church. Is used today as a parish church.
The monastery church of St. George and Mary in Ichtershausen was built in 1133. The founders of the monastery, the von Grumbach family, were closely associated with the Hohenstaufen dynasty. This connection to southern Germany explains the church's unusual floor plan for Thuringia—a basilica without a transept. Source: Display board
