Following the EHL award ceremony in Antwerp, our Cisterscapes network is about to reach another festive milestone: the opening of the “Cistercian Landscape” information center in the former orangery of the upper abbey garden in Ebrach on 22 September 2024. The unveiling of the seal plaque and the opening of the center are embedded in this year’s Bamberg District Enjoyment Day and are accompanied by a varied culinary and cultural program: 14:00: Ceremonial unveiling of the seal plaque with District Administrator Johann Kalb Cistercian Landscape Information Center, Orangery Upper Abbey Garden, 10:00-17:00 What do mills, fish ponds, farmyards and vineyards have to do with the Cistercians? Why are their huge monasteries always located away from the settlement centers in the wet valley? What is special about monastery forests? Why do landscapes like Ebrach play an important role in the history of Europe? You can find answers in the new Cisterscapes Info Center! Short guided tours on demand. Partner landscapes present themselves in the Upper Abbey Garden. Delicious medieval food, Upper Abbey Garden in front of the information center, 11:30 and 16:00 A medieval Cistercian nun welcomes us to her kitchen.
