Kloster Gnadenthal, Medieval monastery in Hünfelden, Germany

The Gnadenthal monastery complex includes a church, residential buildings, guest houses, a gallery, and agricultural facilities across extensive grounds in Hesse.

Founded in 1235 as a Cistercian nunnery named Vallis Gratiae, the monastery transformed into a Protestant institution in 1564 and became an ecumenical center in 1969.

The monastery maintains regular religious services, hosts art exhibitions in its gallery, and organizes concerts throughout the year in its preserved medieval buildings.

Visitors can explore the monastery grounds, shop at the bookstore, stay in guest accommodations, and purchase organic products from the on-site agricultural operation.

The monastery received the Hessian Monument Protection Award in 1993 for its preservation efforts and serves as an official church stop on regional cycling routes.
