Nordhausen is a city in Thuringia, central Germany.
The Nordhausen Holy Cross Cathedral is the catholic parish church of Nordhausen. It was never a bishop's seat but it's also called a cathedral because it is dating back to a cathedral chapter monastery. The building was established between 1180 and 1400 and shows both Romanesque and Gothic style elements. - in: wikipedia
This elegant church is the church of a Cistercian monastery in Raitenhaslach, Bavaria. The monastery was founded in 1146 and until it's dissolution in 1803, it was closely connected to the Bavarian royal family.
8-9 September 1186 marked the consecration of the first church on the grounds of the Raitenhaslach Cistercian abbey.
The church was reconstructed as a Baroque pilaster church in 1698 to mark the 600th anniversary of the order. The church was fitted with a sumptuous Baroque interior between 1743 and 1746 under Abbot Robert Pendtner in celebration of the abbey’s 600th anniversary.
The ceiling frescos by Johann Zick depict the life story of St. Bernhard of Clairvaux of the Order of Cistercians. In 1982, the five-year complete restoration of the abbey began, and it is now more beautiful than ever in its new splendour. - in: https://www.visit-burghausen.com/en/inform/attractions/raitenhaslach-abbey.html
