    The monastery ensemble is a property of the "Thuringian Palaces and Gardens" foundation. and has Romanesque structural features. Many parts of the monastery were removed by Duke Ernst, brought to Gotha and used there for the construction of Friedenstein Castle.

    Historically interesting complex, which is worth a detour even on a racing bike.
    The spa park behind it also has its charms.
    History: Only ruins of the actual monastery complex remain; the foundations of the monastery were uncovered between 1840 and 1906. One of the most important excavators from 1892 onwards was Paul Baethcke, who had previously worked as a pastor in Schwarzhausen.

    It was built around 1260 and used as a granary and barn from 1531 after the monastery was destroyed. Since 1966 as a local history museum.
