Frauenzell Abbey

Dedicated to the Virgin Mary, the monastery was founded in 1321 by Count Reinmar IV von Brennberg, developing an existing hermitage.

At first a cell of Oberalteich Abbey, it became a dependent priory in 1350 and was granted the status of an independent abbey in 1424.

Some of the buildings were used for the accommodation of the school and the minister's house; the rest were sold to the villagers.
