Marienthal Monastery, Medieval monastery ruins in Dernau, Germany

The stone remains of Marienthal Monastery stand in a valley along the Ahr River, featuring structural elements of the former church and cloister spaces.

Founded in 1137 for Augustinian nuns, the monastery endured until 1802 when Napoleon Bonaparte's forces led to its secularization and subsequent sale.

The monastery grounds include seven preserved workspaces that demonstrate the religious community's involvement in wine production and distillery operations.

Visitors can reach the monastery ruins through local transport connections from Dernau, with multiple hiking trails leading to the historical site.

The garden pavilion, constructed during the 1699 reconstruction, remains intact and represents the sole complete structure from the original monastery complex.
