Architecture and history

The spacious courtyard was created as an external economic work of the Cistercian monastery Michaelstein . The complex includes a neoclassical mansion from 1826 and from fieldstone built barns .

On the north side of the courtyard is the single-nave plastered St. Stephen's Chapel, which was probably built in 1687 on the foundation of a previous building made of field stones. On the east end of the narrow but tall ship there is a roof turret. The choir is just closing.

The interior of the chapel is spanned by a wooden ceiling reminiscent of a coffin lid. The furnishings come from the baroque era . The carved pulpit altar wall was built around 1687. It has side passages. The pulpit is between twisted columns. The parapets of the pulpit are decorated with reliefs. They show Christ with the globe and the four evangelists. The sound cover is made from acanthus branches . Above the sound cover is a painting showing the crucifixion. To the left of the picture is a sculpture of Mary. On the right there is a sculpture of John. In an explosive gable a triumphant Christ is depicted as crowning. To the side of the pulpit there are life-size sculptures of Peter and Paul. The rest of the interior was also built in the 17th and 18th centuries.

An estate park is located in the southern part of the complex, which is surrounded by a wall of quarry stones .

In the local register of monuments , the monastery courtyard is registered as a monument under registration number 094 04305 .
