Himmelthal Monastery, Cistercian monastery in Elsenfeld, Germany.
The Himmelthal Monastery buildings stand on the right bank of Main River, surrounded by the Spessart and Odenwald hills in Bavaria.
Count Ludwig II von Rieneck and Adelheid von Henneberg established this Cistercian nunnery in 1232, which operated until its dissolution in 1568.
The monastery structures demonstrate the architectural principles of the Cistercian order through their simplified forms and functional design elements.
The former monastery site now belongs to the Gymnasiumsfonds des Stiftungsamtes Aschaffenburg and contains exhibits from its educational period.
The complex includes preserved 18th-century panels depicting the monastery holdings, which are now displayed in the Stiftsmuseum of Aschaffenburg.
