Zisterzienserinnenkloster Marienstuhl, Egeln, Cistercian convent in Egeln, Germany

The monastic complex features Gothic and Baroque architectural elements, with a central church building and an expansive courtyard surrounded by cloisters.

Otto von Hadmersleben established the monastery in 1259 at his wife Jutta von Blankenburg's request, with her sister Mechthild becoming the first abbess.

The monastery maintains a Gothic statue of Mary from 1450, which served as a pilgrimage destination for religious visitors throughout centuries.

The monastery complex opens to visitors on specific Sundays from 14:00 to 17:00, offering guided tours and historical reenactments of monastery life.

Between 1577 and 1730, the monastery church operated as a shared space between Catholic nuns and Protestant community members during religious transitions.
