A beautiful large studio offers space and peace for exuberant creative work.
The orchard and the monastery garden are our green classroom for the start of the day and smaller theory sessions. Open-air painters and draughtsmen will find sunny and shady spots under huge old trees on the gently sloping meadow behind the monastery. In the evening, we will certainly sit around the campfire here.

After reunification, the monastery was reconstructed inside and out in keeping with its listed status.
The restored rooms are ideal for working, living, eating and drinking. Single rooms are available in the monastery hostel. All of them offer a special view: of the monastery pond, the wide monastery meadow, the monastery garden, the church behind the monastery wall, the mighty beech trees above the cloister garden or the Kranichau, the nearby forest on the heights.

Catering

Regional home cooking. Please indicate any intolerances when booking.

I did this painting trip with Tanja for the first time. I was totally thrilled how professional and with what ease she took us by the hand. I learned so much, especially about watercolor. I will be back next year.
