Volkenroda Abbey, Romanesque monastery in Körner, Germany
The stone buildings of Volkenroda Abbey stand among agricultural fields, featuring Romanesque architectural elements and a restored church structure from the 12th century.
Founded in 1131 by monks from Altenkamp, Volkenroda Abbey established multiple daughter monasteries including Waldsassen, Reifenstein, Loccum, and Dobrilugk between 1133 and 1165.
The monastery complex now functions as a European Youth Education Centre, promoting educational activities and maintaining connections to its Cistercian heritage.
Visitors can explore the monastery grounds through guided tours that explain the architectural features and historical significance of this protected cultural heritage site.
The Brotherhood of Jesus from Hünfelden-Gnadental revived the monastic traditions in 1994, bringing new life to buildings that had been used for agricultural purposes.
