The Henneberg Museum Kloster Veßra is a 6-hectare open-air museum showcasing the history of the monastery, half-timbered architecture, the everyday history of the people of the Henneberg region, and agricultural technology. The museum grounds and the monastery buildings of the Premonstratensian Order are owned by the Thuringian Palaces and Gardens Foundation. There are the Veßra monastery ruins, the half-timbered houses with buildings from the Henneberg region, the largest collection of East German LPG agricultural machinery in Thuringia, a historic hydroelectric power plant with a mill race, exhibitions on the hard daily lives of the people, and a well-tended garden with herb gardens, flower meadows, and old fruit trees.

First documented mention in 890.

It goes uphill quite a bit, otherwise a nice tour

A visit that is worth it. It is definitely worth seeing. I am impressed. Respect for how much effort goes into keeping everything in order 👍

Nice place to linger with a good information board about the fieldstone.

Even before the seemingly massive rockslide in 1595, rocks had repeatedly fallen off this mountain. The perfect place to live - thought an entrepreneur who originally came from Themar and made a name for himself in Berlin with a horseshoe-shaped leather bag. Wealthy but in poor health, he eventually returned to his homeland. He wanted to build his retirement home here on the Iltenberg (formerly Öltenberg), where he had often been as a child. In 1932 he moved into the villa, of which only old photos exist. Unfortunately, it was demolished during the GDR era. Only a few remnants remain. You can still wander through the former access gate, walk on the cobblestones of the courtyard and visit an old cellar vault. A detailed information board on site tells the full story.

An interesting fact is that the uncle of the famous Johann Sebastian Bach was a cantor here and played the organ in the church for many years. "His" organ no longer exists, but his former home still does. There is a memorial plaque there. The church itself is closed and cannot be visited, although many tourist guides rave about its interior.

The town hall itself is worth seeing, but the market square is not exactly inviting for long lingering. It is mainly used as a car park, the fountain is no longer in use and unfortunately there are no cosy restaurants. Information boards about the town's history and the town hall are also nowhere to be found.
