Kloster Georgenthal, Cistercian monastery ruins in Georgenthal, Germany
The remains of Kloster Georgenthal include three-nave halls, a cloister, and foundations of the original basilica with rectangular choir from 1250.
Founded in 1142 by Count Sizzo III von Schwarzburg-Kevernburg, monks from Morimond Abbey established this religious center in Thuringia.
The monastery remained a center of religious life until 1525, when the German Peasants' War resulted in its pillage and near-total destruction.
Visitors can explore the excavated foundations, which were uncovered between 1840 and 1906, revealing the monastery's architectural layout.
A preserved rose window design from the monastery, representing its finest architectural element, is now displayed at the local history museum.
