Kloster Gnadenberg, Medieval monastery ruins in Berg, Germany

Kloster Gnadenberg is a former Bridgettine monastery with preserved outer walls of light brown sandstone featuring Gothic window openings. The remaining structure shows how the complex was once laid out and organized.

Founded in 1422, it was the first monastery of its kind in Southern Germany. Its continued operation for more than a century shows the long spiritual role it played in the region.

The site was a spiritual center where women from wealthy Nuremberg families came to live a religious life. This drew attention and resources to the area, shaping its importance in the region.

The site is accessible to visitors through guided tours and exhibitions. It is best to check opening times ahead of your visit since these may vary by season.

The monastery houses a statue of Saint Birgitta that traveled through northern Europe before returning to this location. This object connects the site to a broader European story.
