Frauenalb Monastery

Frauenalb Monastery was founded in the late 12th century. It accepted as members only daughters of noble families. The accidental fire destroyed the monastery in 1508 and only abbey church built in 1404-1406 survived. The rebuilt monastery was looted again in 1525 during Peasants War. 

Shortly after 1600 the last woman left the monastery. Today a foundation takes care of the preservation of the remarkable ruin.
