Zelle Abbey, Medieval monastery in Aue, Saxony, Germany

The former Augustinian monastery features a stone church building with architectural elements typical of medieval religious structures in central Germany.

Founded on January 17, 1101, the monastery underwent transformation into a Lutheran church from 1879 to 1914, reflecting changes in regional religious practices.

The monastery contains burial sites of notable Wettin margraves of Meissen, making it an important location for Saxon nobility heritage.

The Society for the Preservation of Zelle Abbey maintains the site and provides educational resources about its historical and architectural features.

The Andreaskapelle, constructed between 1339 and 1349, served as a dedicated burial chamber for the Wettin family members.
