Cistercian convent Frankenhausen (Saxony)
The Cistercian convent in Frankenhausen (Saxony) was a nunnery from the 13th to the 16th century, first in Grünberg , and from 1292 in Frankenhausen near Crimmitschau in Saxony .
history
Since the middle of the 13th century (before 1260) in Grünberg, the Cistercian convent was donated to the destroyed castle as a monastery in Frankenhausen in 1276. The nuns completed the move in 1292. In 1410 the monastery was rebuilt after a fire. 1529 came in the wake of the Reformation to the secularization of the monastery, 1543 for final clearance. Since 1990 the Saxon Heritage Protection Association has been successfully trying to preserve the remains that are under monument protection. These are: the monastery school, the vault of the widow's house, the tower of the prior house and the cellar mountain house .
