Neuzelle Abbey, Cistercian monastery in Neuzelle, Germany

The monastery features two churches with Baroque architecture, ribbed vaults, and murals spread across multiple buildings within a five-hectare complex.

Henry the Illustrious, Margrave of Meissen and Lusatia, established Nova Cella in 1268 to honor his wife Agnes, transforming the Gothic structure into Baroque by 1650.

The Museum of Heavenly Theatre displays large canvas and wooden panel artworks depicting scenes of Jesus Christ from 1750 in the former carriage house.

The monastery compound includes guided tours, exhibitions, parish churches for both Catholic and Protestant services, and historical gardens open to visitors.

Monks from the Austrian Abbey of Heiligenkreuz refounded Neuzelle as Maria Friedenshort Priory in 2018, bringing monastic life back after 200 years.
