Kloster Roda, Cistercian monastery in Stadtroda, Germany.
Description
Kloster Roda is a monastery complex featuring the remains of a Gothic church built from red sandstone that stands in a rural setting. The visible walls and foundations reveal how the buildings were arranged to support the daily life and worship of the religious community.
History
The monastery was founded in the early 13th century and gained protection from major religious and political figures of the period. Its religious life came to an end in 1534 when the community was dissolved.

The monastery was home to Cistercian nuns for centuries, serving as a center for prayer and community life. Today visitors can sense how religious communities shaped the local landscape and traditions.
