Kloster Seligental, Cistercian monastery in Osterburken, Germany.

The monastery buildings stand between Schlierstadt and Zimmern villages in the Neckar-Odenwald district of Baden-Württemberg, displaying medieval religious architecture.

Konrad von Dürn and Mechthild von Lauffen established this monastery for noble women in 1236, which operated until its dissolution in 1561.

The religious complex maintained significant influence through its Marian devotion and secondary patrons Ursula and Nicholas, generating regular pilgrimages from surrounding villages.

The site currently operates as private agricultural land with restricted access, though historical documentation remains available through regional archives.

The monastery conducted its external trade operations through Bronnbach Abbey, whose abbot simultaneously served as the father abbot of Seligental.
