Kloster Merten, Architectural heritage monastery in Eitorf, Germany.

The monastery complex includes a Romanesque basilica with double towers, surrounded by walls and featuring a neo-baroque orangery built in 1909.

The Augustine monastery, first documented in 1217, was established by Countess Mathilde von Sayn and merged with Kloster Herchen in 1582.

The monastery church of St Agnes displays late Romanesque architecture and contains the preserved noble gravestone of Wilhelm von Selbach.

The facility now operates as a residential care home, with its park and orangery open to visitors, including a cafeteria serving from Tuesday to Sunday.

The grounds feature a trompe l'oeil building called Gloriette, constructed as a viewpoint overlooking the Sieg River.
