History

Thorn, whose history dates back to the late tenth century, was once a mini-state headed by a princess-abbess. She was assisted by a chapter of fourteen abbey ladies and six canons. Yet Thorn was not a principality but a free imperial lordship under the direct protection of the emperor of the German Empire. As a guest of the Abbey Court you will stay in the former kitchen building of the palace complex of Maria Cunegonda of Saxony, who became Prince-Abbess of Thorn in 1776.
