Kloster Teistungenburg

The monastery complex encompasses multiple buildings including a granary, brewery, two barns, stables, and two gatehouses within its white sandstone walls.

Founded in 1260 as a daughter house of Beuren Monastery, Teistungenburg Monastery accommodated ten nuns and gained independence by the end of the 13th century.

The monastic site contained Saint Peter and Paul Church, consecrated in 1724, representing the religious heritage of the Cistercian order in Thuringia.

The monastery grounds now feature a leisure park with a water park, hotel facilities, and a cultural center established after German reunification.

Most monastery buildings were demolished in 1975, leaving only the white sandstone wall and a cattle barn as remnants of the original structure.
