An extremely important habitat for plants and animals. It's beautifully designed, with beautiful signs that explain what's crawling and flying around there. Unfortunately, there are always some idiots who stick stickers or graffiti on these signs – what a pity!

In the summer, the Klosterhofspiele (Monastery Courtyard Plays) take place in the monastery's inner courtyard. Each year, there's a play for children and usually an entertaining classic for adults. Storks clatter from the roof every now and then during the performance. Tip: Bring a cushion from home.

Langenzenn passed into the possession of the Nuremberg burgraves from the House of Hohenzollern around 1248. The monastery, dedicated to Saint Mary, was founded in 1409 by John III and Frederick VI, burgraves of Nuremberg; it was dissolved in 1533 during the Reformation. The monastery, with its Gothic cloister, has been preserved.
