Walsrode Monastery

Highlight • Religious Site

The monastery was founded in the tenth century. It is by far the oldest women's pen in the former principality of Lüneburg.

In 1482, large parts burned down. Parts of the brickwork and the stained-glass windows of the chapel date back to the late gothic reconstruction.
From 1528, the Lutheran Confession began to convert to Lutheranism. In 1699 the Guelph Duke Georg Wilhelm decreed that all places in the monastery should be reserved for noble ladies. In the Thirty Years' War, the monastery was looted by Tilly's soldiers. From 1700, the dilapidated monastery buildings were demolished and replaced by new buildings on the original foundations.


The eventful history made sure that many art treasures and the old buildings were destroyed, so that today mainly buildings from the 18th century can be seen.

Just around the corner from the beautiful town church is the Walsrode Monastery of the Protestant women's foundation, so you can plan a longer tour of both sacred buildings.
