Zisterzienserinnenkloster Sonnefeld
Zisterzienserinnenkloster Sonnefeld, Cistercian monastery in Sonnefeld, Germany
The Zisterzienserinnenkloster Sonnefeld stands as a stone structure with traditional Cistercian architectural elements and a preserved east wing from medieval times.
Founded in 1260 by Henry II von Sonneberg and Kunigunde, the monastery moved to its current location after a fire destroyed the original site in 1287.
The monastery transformed from a Catholic nunnery to an Evangelical Lutheran parish church, reflecting the religious changes that occurred in the region.
The former monastery, located at Klosterhof coordinates 50.221536, 11.134026, remains accessible as an active Lutheran church with preserved medieval gravestones.
Records from 1514 show the monastery owned properties across 77 locations, making it one of the largest landowners in the Coburger Land region.
