Sittichenbach Abbey, Cistercian monastery in Sittichenbach, Germany
The monastery complex includes preserved structures such as the abbots' chapel, fishpond, and dovecote within the Mansfeld-Südharz district of Saxony-Anhalt.
Founded in 1141 by Esiko II of Bornstedt as a daughter house of Walkenried Abbey, the monastery established extensive agricultural lands in the region.
From its establishment until 1540, the monastery served as a center of religious education and agricultural development in medieval Saxony-Anhalt.
The monastery now operates as a hotel and retreat center, offering spaces for meditation, gardens, worship areas, and a labyrinth for visitors.
In 1180, monks from Sittichenbach founded three additional monasteries: Lehnin Abbey, Buch Abbey, and Grünhain Abbey, expanding their influence across Germany.
