Fascination Gothic

The architecture of the Middle Ages has left a fascinating legacy throughout Europe; on the southern edge of the Harz in Walkenried there is a magnificent monastery complex dating from this time. Here you can experience the fascination of Gothic architecture, either by exploring on your own or by taking part in a guided tour. The Cistercian Museum Walkenried Monastery provides special insights into the Middle Ages and architecture.
