Here you can experience medieval charm in an intact village center made of beautiful half-timbered houses. Nice restaurants and cafes invite you to linger.

Wienhausen is a romantic village with a historic monastery surrounded by a large park. The local dowry ladies offer interesting guided tours. The town has a small, well-preserved, old town center with many picturesque half-timbered houses, where it can be transformed to your heart's content, and then to take a little refreshment in the monastery café.

From Celle on numerous good cycling routes (Allerradweg) to reach. Small detours on Bockelskamp and Osterloh (weir system) make the ride interesting. Or maybe back to Lachendorf and the Lachte along with some exciting trails for mountain bikers.

The entire center is still consistent and mostly preserved with old houses.

Old half-timbered houses are framed by the monastery grounds and, in some cases, very old trees. On foot, by bike, or even by canoe on the mill canal flowing past, the view offers fascinating perspectives.

Seers good for relaxing and beautiful brick and half-timbered buildings.
The monastery Wienhausen is a former Cistercian, today Protestant convent from the 13th century.

The monastery's chronicle, written around 1692, reports on its founding in the 13th century. In 1233, Bishop Conrad II of Hildesheim confirmed the founding of the monastery and endowed it with numerous assets. The economic situation allowed the construction of magnificent buildings at the beginning of the 14th century. Contrary to the rules of the Cistercian Order, the nunnery was decorated with magnificent paintings.

In the 16th century, the Lutheran Reformation was introduced in the Principality of Lüneburg. Despite the resistance of the nuns, the Catholic nunnery slowly became a Protestant women's monastery. The Reformation also had far-reaching economic consequences. The Duke confiscated a significant portion of the monastery's assets.

The remaining income could only support a small convent of 26 nuns. Today, the convent of Wienhausen Monastery consists of an abbess and 13 nuns.

Wienhausen Monastery boasts an extraordinary wealth of Christian works of art from the Middle Ages. Some have served religious purposes continuously, while many have been "rediscovered" over the past 150 years. Together with the buildings, they form a unique work of art. Showing this to the numerous guests and explaining their Christian meaning to them also represents Christian preaching in a secular world.

In addition, the convent itself continues to form a community based on Christian principles. Regular communal services, devotions, and convent meetings are mandatory for the monastery's residents.

We were in the Brauhaus Gasthaus. In the late afternoon there was unfortunately only pizza on the menu in the beer garden.

There are some beautiful photo opportunities around the monastery. I stopped by on April 19, 2021, during a Dannenberg - Hanover bike tour and unfortunately only had time for a short stopover, but I will definitely come back sometime. to take a closer look at the monastery and its surroundings.

In addition, the overpriced event Gourmet (t) and Garden. New-rich philistines get their money's worth. In addition there are similar Elitäres in the castle Eldingen from the same organizer. Such as. the festival of lights with 12 Euro entry.

The monastery grounds (unfortunately the spacious garden is only open for events) and especially the monastery tour conveys "a completely different world" far away from the hustle and bustle. Photography is forbidden in the monastery - this wish should also be respected.

A really nice building with a beautiful park. The whole variety of the surrounding half-timbered houses, the old and mighty trees and the river are worth a visit and make you feel very calm inside, it's wonderful here.
