Kloster St. Marienthal

Monastery in Ostritz, Germany, dating from 1201

St. Marienthal Abbey (German: Kloster St. Marienthal; Upper Sorbian: Abtei St. Marijiny doł) is a Cistercian nunnery in Saxon Upper Lusatia. The abbey is the oldest nunnery of the Cistercian Order in Germany to have maintained unbroken occupation of its house since its foundation. St. Marienthal is located to the south of Ostritz on the left bank of the Neisse, which at this point forms today's German border with Poland. To the north, Görlitz is about 20 kilometres away.
