Mariental Abbey, Cistercian monastery in Mariental, Germany
The monastery features stone buildings arranged according to Cistercian architectural principles, with the church positioned at the center of the complex.
Founded in 1101, Mariental Abbey served as a mother house to Altenberg Abbey and maintained substantial landholdings extending to Magdeburg, Jüterbog, and Braunschweig.
The monks at Mariental Abbey dedicated their time to theological studies, agricultural practices, and manuscript preservation while following strict Cistercian disciplines.
The former abbey church now functions as the Protestant parish church of Mariental, with the remaining structures managed by the Braunschweigische Vereinigte Kloster.
Following its dissolution in 1569, the abbey transformed into a Lutheran school in 1542, operating as an educational institution until its transfer to Helmstedt in 1773.
