Kloster St. Afra, Medieval monastery in Meissen, Germany.
The monastery complex includes multiple buildings with traditional architecture, religious spaces, conference rooms, and accommodations spread across the elevated grounds near Meissen Cathedral.
Bishop Dietrich II von Kittlitz established the Augustine monastery in 1205, which operated until its transformation into a princely school during the Reformation in 1543.
The monastery serves as a center for the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Saxony, hosting educational programs, seminars, and religious gatherings throughout the year.
The facility contains 68 rooms with 90 sleeping spaces, five group meeting areas, a chapel, and the Propsteisaal conference hall with audio-visual equipment.
The church features a baroque tower dome added after a lightning strike in 1766, along with preserved wood carvings and an organ built by Friedrich Pfützner in 1847.
