Lichtenthal Abbey, Cistercian nunnery in Baden-Baden, Germany
The abbey compound features a Gothic church with a 14th-century choir, a 15th-century nave, and a three-sided walled courtyard with a Marian fountain.
Margravine Irmengard of Baden established Lichtenthal Abbey in 1245 as a burial place for her husband Hermann V, relocating his remains from Backnang Abbey in 1248.
The Prince's Chapel contains the Madonna of the Keys statue and functions as the traditional burial site for members of the Baden noble family.
The nunnery maintains a primary school and offers guided tours throughout the year, allowing visitors to explore the historical architecture and religious artifacts.
The abbey maintains an unbroken tradition of Gregorian chant performances during daily prayer services since its foundation over 750 years ago.
