Kloster Ichtershausen, Medieval monastery in Ichtershausen, Germany.
The monastery features a three-nave basilica with romanesque architecture, two western towers, and three apse choir rooms connected to the main castle building.
Founded in 1147, the monastery received its first nuns from Wechterswinkel Abbey in Lower Franconia and obtained royal confirmation from King Conrad III.
The religious community maintained gardens, produced clothing and soap, while following simple dietary practices according to Cistercian monastic traditions.
The monastery grounds now include a community garden with greenhouses, animal enclosures, and a water playground open to visitors.
In 1198, Philip of Swabia was designated as German king at this monastery, marking a significant moment in medieval German politics.
