from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bernstein Monastery is located south of Kirchberg Monastery near Renfrizhausen , a district of Sulz am Neckar in the Rottweil district . Since 1361 it was the brother house of hermits, who had been Franciscan tertiary since the 16th century . With the abolition of the monastery in the course of secularization at the beginning of the 19th century, amber became a state domain . From 1935 the house served as a country year camp . After the war, the Bernstein Art School was established there . Today the monastery building is privately owned and an agricultural estate.

History of the building

The founding of the monastery in 1361 is confirmed by the Reichenau monastery in 1361. In the 16th century the umbrella bailiwick came from the hands of the Hohenbergers to the House of Habsburg. The new construction of the monastery was built by the Rottweiler master builder Joseph Feuerstein from 1728 to 1733. The large, arched drip fountain from 1448, which was renewed in 1620, has been preserved from the older predecessor buildings. An inscription from the same year names the stonemason Johannes Conrad Alther von Rorschach. The old monastery garden with columns and pedestals has also been preserved .

The interior of the monastery church was given cheaply to the parish church in Bochingen (pulpit, confessional and baptismal font). The side altars - known as masterpieces of marquetry - were part of the rococo furnishings of the monastery. The altar leaves are by Franz Sebald Unterberger (1706–1776).

The former Bernstein Monastery - today Hofgut - is located on the ParadiesTour Kloster Kirchberg (No. 3).
