Kloster Gerlachsheim

Kloster Gerlachsheim, Premonstratensian monastery in Gerlachsheim, Germany.

Kloster Gerlachsheim is a former Premonstratensian monastery in Gerlachsheim, part of Lauda-Königshofen. Its former monastery church, now the Heilig-Kreuz-Kirche, was rebuilt from 1723 to 1728 and consecrated in 1730. The complex includes a park that once served as the monastery garden and is open to the public.

A Premonstratensian nunnery existed here from about 1187 to 1197; a 1209 deed of Siboto von Luden first documents the site. Pope Innocent IV confirmed the order's affiliation in 1254, and Archbishop Werner von Eppstein of Mainz partly destroyed the precinct in 1261. Prince-Bishop Friedrich von Wirsberg of Würzburg dissolved the convent in 1563; the order regained it in 1717 and founded the Oberzell priory, whose church was rebuilt 1723–1728 and consecrated in 1730.

The church reflects Baroque design principles where craftsmanship and artistic skill shaped every detail of worship spaces. The religious objects and carefully carved woodwork show how faith was practiced and expressed across generations.

The site is located at Würzburger Strasse 83 in Lauda-Königshofen and is easy to reach. The church is open for daily visits, while the remainder of the complex serves other functions today.

The monastery buildings were granted to Count Franz Wilhelm zu Salm-Reifferscheidt-Bedburg in 1803 and served as an administrative seat and castle from 1806. Baden acquired them in 1838 and opened a school for deaf-mute children in 1874, which closed in 1935. During World War II, resettled Slovenes lived there, and after the war it housed displaced persons.
