Adelhausen monastery, Dominican monastery in Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany.
The monastery features four wings arranged around a central courtyard, with preserved Baroque architecture and detailed interior furnishings from the 17th century.
Founded in 1234 in the village of Adelhausen, the monastery was rebuilt in 1687 after destruction during military conflicts and French fortification expansions.
The monastery served as a center for Christian mysticism during medieval times, where Dominican nuns focused on direct divine experiences through meditation.
The monastery complex now houses the Museum of Contemporary Art and maintains regular visiting hours with free admission at Adelhauser Straße 33.
The monastery received financial support from King Louis XIV of France for its reconstruction, demonstrating French influence on German religious architecture.
