A bit hidden in Thale but absolutely worth a detour.

Wendhusen monastery, also modernized Wendhausen, in Thale is the oldest monastery in what is now the state of Saxony-Anhalt and is the start and end station of the Harz monastery hiking trail. It is the only Carolingian building and the oldest canonical monastery in eastern Germany. After the secularization around 1540 it became a manor.
