Frankenhausen Abbey
Source

The Abbey of Frankenhausen is a historical site located in Frankenhausen, a district of Crimmitschau, Germany. This former Cistercian abbey holds a significant place in the history of the region. It was given to the Cistercian nuns in 1278 and was fully moved to this location by 1292. The abbey was rebuilt after a fire in 1410 and was secularized following the Protestant Reformation in 1529. It was finally evacuated in 1543.
