Kölleda Monastery
The Kölleda Monastery was a Cistercian monastery in Kölleda in Thuringia from 1265 to 1556 .
history
The Benedictine Abbey of Hersfeld founded the nunnery in Kölleda in 1265, which was donated there by the Counts of Beichlingen and settled it with Cistercian women from the Frauensee monastery . In the sources, however, the monastery is also referred to as Benedictine. In 1556, after the death of the last abbess, Sophia von Schafstädt, the convent was dissolved. The monastery church of St. John the Evangelist, later St. John the Baptist , still exists in a converted form in the street “Im Kloster” (on the cemetery grounds). It contains the grave monument of Countess Helene von Beichlingen .
In 1538 there were only 14 nuns in the monastery. They taught girls a. a. handcrafted.
