Kloster Bernstein, Former monastery in Sulz am Neckar, Germany
The monastery building includes a large vaulted drip well from 1448, renovated in 1620, and maintains the original monk's garden with columns and pedestals.
Established in 1361 as a brotherhouse for hermits, Kloster Bernstein transitioned to Franciscan tertiaries in the 16th century before becoming secularized in the early 1800s.
Between 1946 and 1955, the monastery transformed into the Bernsteinschule, a private art school that revitalized the South German art scene after World War II.
The monastery complex now functions as a private agricultural estate, following various uses including an art school and a youth camp during the 20th century.
The monastery features side altars with exceptional inlay work and altar canvases by Franz Sebald Unterberger, while HAP Grieshaber created the notable Angel of Death mural.
