Engelthal is a municipality near Nürnberg (Nuremberg) in the Frankenalb (Frankish Alb). The municipality has a population of approximately 1100 people. It was established as a cloister around 1250 AD and has retained many of the original cloister buildings. In recent years, residents have remodeled and restored sections of the cloister and cloister wall.
