Konradsdorf Monastery, Religious monastery in Ortenberg, Germany

The monastery complex features a three-nave pillar basilica with a semicircular apse, built upon foundations from an earlier Frankish hall church.

Founded in the 8th century as a manor house by Konrad, a feudal lord of the Benedictine Abbey of Fulda, the site transformed into a monastery in the 12th century.

The monastery church displays decorated pillar capitals and Gothic tomb slabs, while its walls retain sections of original reddish plaster and wall paintings.

Visitors can access the monastery from Thursday to Sunday between 10:00 AM and 5:00 PM, with parking facilities available outside the farm area.

The provostry building contains Romanesque windows with red glass, marking it as one of the remaining structures from the Staufer period in Hesse.
