Kloster Engelthal, Dominican monastery ruins in Engelthal, Germany.
The archaeological site contains foundation walls and remnants of a medieval monastery complex surrounded by thick stone walls near Nuremberg.
Founded in 1323 as a religious community for Dominican nuns, the monastery operated continuously until its dissolution in 1802 during secularization.
The monastery functioned as a center of religious education where nuns maintained manuscripts and conducted traditional Dominican liturgical practices.
The archaeological site is accessible through marked pathways from the village center, with informational panels explaining the structural remains.
The monastery grounds include preserved sections of the original medieval garden layout, reflecting 14th-century horticultural design principles.
