Krevese Monastery was founded as a Benedictine monastery in 1170 by Count Albrecht von Osterburg. It belonged to the Diocese of Verden. After the introduction of the Reformation in 1541, the monastery was converted into a Protestant women's monastery. The buildings were exchanged for the von Bismarck family in 1563. In 1602 the last dominatrix died and the women's monastery was dissolved. The monastery buildings were demolished in 1856.
The archaic-rustic looking church was built from field stone and brick masonry as a Romanesque basilica with an apse, but without a transept, until around 1200.
