Klarenthal Abbey, Medieval monastery ruins in Klarenthal, Wiesbaden, Germany
The former Poor Clares monastery stands on elevated ground overlooking Wiesbaden, incorporating remnants of medieval stonework within newer structures.
Count Adolf of Nassau established this monastery in 1298, which served as a burial site for the House of Nassau until 1370.
The monastery belonged to the Order of Poor Ladies, founded on teachings of Saint Clare of Assisi, attracting noble women from Rheingau and Rheinhessen.
The monastery site transformed into multiple facilities through centuries, including a state hospital in 1607, a glass factory, and a paper mill until 1840.
This monastery remains the only abbey within present-day Wiesbaden boundaries, despite its dissolution during the Protestant Reformation in 1559.
