Herrenalb Abbey, Cistercian monastery in Bad Herrenalb, Germany.
The monastery complex includes remaining structures of the abbot's lodgings, infirmary, cloisters, and a Romanesque tithe barn with Gothic architectural elements.
Count Berthold of Eberstein established the monastery in 1148, bringing monks from Neubourg Abbey in Alsace to settle in the northern Black Forest.
The Gothic choir of the abbey church, converted in 1739, now functions as a Lutheran worship space while maintaining its medieval architectural features.
The monastery site, located at Im Kloster 11 in Bad Herrenalb, contains multiple preserved buildings and ruins open for exploration and study.
The abbey houses an empty cenotaph intended for Bernard I, Margrave of Baden-Baden, adorned with Old Testament prophet sculptures.
