Kloster Mildenfurth, Medieval monastery in Wünschendorf/Elster, Germany.
The monastery complex features a Romanesque church integrated with a Renaissance castle, displaying architectural elements from both periods at its west portal.
Heinrich II, Vogt of Weida, established the Premonstratensian monastery in 1193, intending it to serve as a burial site for his family.
The monastery sustained itself through agriculture, timber rafting, and silver mining, becoming an economic center for the surrounding region.
The German Foundation for Monument Protection has funded restoration work on the southern transept and partial preservation of the eastern transept.
The structure transformed from a monastery to a Renaissance hunting lodge in 1617 when Elector Johann Georg I acquired the converted church.
