Kloster Wendhusen, Religious sanctuary in Thale, Germany.

The Kloster Wendhusen monastery complex features a five-story residential tower and extensive grounds with a pond, herb garden, and plant memory trail.

Established in 825 by Gisela, daughter of East Saxon Count Hessi, the monastery received numerous properties and began constructing its first church around 840.

The monastery played a central role in developing the Imperial Abbey of Quedlinburg in 936 and adopted Augustinian regulations around 1120.

The monastery museum and cafe welcome visitors from Wednesday to Sunday between 2 PM and 5 PM at Wendhusenstrasse 7 in Thale.

The western section of the abbey church, constructed around 1160, contains three distinct levels including a rare ninth-century ladies' gallery.
