Marienstatt Abbey, Cistercian monastery in Streithausen, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany.
The Gothic church of Marienstatt Abbey sits in the Nister valley, featuring detailed stone carvings, pointed arches, and large stained glass windows.
Founded in 1212 in Neunkhausen, the monastery moved to its current location in 1222 after monks discovered unsuitable conditions at the original site.
The monks maintain traditional Gregorian chants four times daily in Latin, continuing an unbroken musical tradition since the 13th century.
The monastery houses 97,000 volumes in its library hall, offers guided tours, and provides accommodations for visitors seeking spiritual reflection.
The abbey organ contains the sole authentic Spanische Trompete found outside Spain, dating from 1732 and integrated into the current instrument.
