Kloster Marienthal, Cistercian nunnery in Sornzig, Germany
The monastery complex includes medieval structures with surrounding gardens, positioned near the Hasenbach creek in the Nordsachsen district of Saxony.
Bishop Konrad of Meißen confirmed the establishment of Kloster Marienthal in 1243, following its foundation by Siegfried III von Mügeln two years earlier.
The nuns of Kloster Marienthal introduced fruit cultivation practices and maintained herb gardens, contributing to agricultural development in medieval Saxony.
The renovated sister house now functions as accommodation for visitors, offering direct access to the monastery grounds and surrounding historical structures.
A fire in 1278 caused extensive damage to the monastery, leading to reconstruction efforts supported through religious indulgences granted by church authorities.
