Kloster Himmelkron, Cistercian monastery in Himmelkron, Germany
The monastery complex includes a Gothic church with baroque modifications, featuring remaining sections of a medieval cloister connected to the main building.
Count Otto III of Weimar-Orlamünde established the monastery in 1279, converting his castle in Pretzendorf into a religious institution for Cistercian nuns.
The monastery church contains tombs of the Counts of Orlamünde and displays a collection of liturgical items from the 16th to 18th centuries.
The monastery now functions as a residential care facility and day center for people with disabilities, managed by Diakonie Neuendettelsau.
The Gothic monastery church underwent substantial architectural changes in 1698 under architect Antonio della Porta, transforming it into a Lutheran parish church.
