Kloster Ehrenstein

Asbach, Germany, Germany

Kloster Ehrenstein in Asbach, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany, sits below the 1330s Burg Ehrenstein castle in the Wied Valley and was founded in 1486 as Kloster Liebfrauenthal for the Order of the Holy Cross (Kreuzherren), who arrived in 1488 under Prior Jac Herynck and established a parish independent from Asbach. Plundered during the Thirty Years' War in 1632 by Swedish troops and again in 1795 by French forces, it faced dissolution through secularization in 1812 under Prince Wied-Runkel but was revived by Franciscan friars from Saxonia in 1893, who added buildings for a correctional house for errant clergy before transferring to the Cologne province in 1929 and departing in 1953. Since 2009 under Marienhaus GmbH ownership and inhabited by Franciscan nuns, the restored complex offers retreats amid its historical ties to local nobility and minimal 1660 population of castle, monastery, three houses, and a ruined mill.
