Monastery town Waldsassen

Highlight • Religious Site

The Cistercians and their baroque buildings shape Waldsassen and the surrounding abbey land - such a unique cultural treasure that the region is currently advertising as a UNESCO cultural heritage. The highlights of the monastery town include the monastery basilica, the monastery library with precious carvings, the nature experience garden of the Waldsassen Abbey and the Stiftland Museum.

Waldsassen Abbey

Highlight • Religious Site

Since her election as abbess in 1995, Mother Laetitia Fech has transformed the decaying monastery into a modern business enterprise. It creates jobs not only in the city, but also in the wider area, although only six sisters still live in the abbey.
The most honorable guesthouse is probably the St. Joseph's guesthouse, which offers warm hospitality and three-star comfort behind medieval walls. A sad ruin for many years, it was reopened in 2008 with a sensitive mix of historical substance and modern elements.
The fact that you immediately feel so comfortable and at home in the simple, elegant rooms named after saints is certainly due to the Benedictine rule "Porta patet, cor magis" - "The monastery gate is open, our hearts even more so." As the monastery's economist, Sister Sophia runs the guesthouse with its cozy vaulted restaurant and the adjoining monastery shop.

The fountain was originally erected in 1921 as the first war memorial for those who died in World War I. After a new war memorial was erected opposite in 1961, the fountain functions as a Diepold fountain, named after the founder of the monastery, Margrave Diepold, who is enthroned on the column.

Waldsassen Basilica

Highlight • Religious Site

An impressive church. The church interior has a total length of 82 meters. Just worth seeing. The parish church of the Assumption of Mary and St. John the Evangelist in Waldsassen, Bavaria, was built in its current form from 1685 to 1704 as an abbey church and belongs to the Waldsassen monastery.

Fockenfeld Monastery

Highlight • Religious Site

The municipalities of Mitterteich, Waldsassen, Wiesau and Konnersreuth have acquired the Fockenfeld estate. The Fockenfeld monastery with the castle and around 100 hectares of land has thus changed owners.
The late vocation school, the smallest high school in Bavaria, closed its doors in July 2020. The Oblates of Saint Francis de Sales then began looking for a new owner for the Fockenfeld estate.
The municipalities have now housed refugees from Ukraine there - guarded by strict security, who are disturbed by hikers walking past on the signposted path.
