Gravenhorst Monastery looks back on a long history. In 1256 the Mecklenburg knight Konrad von Brochterbeck founded the monastery together with his wife. The independence of the monastery or the Cistercian abbey had to assert itself again and again against attacks by secular lords, for whom the independent Gravenhorster women were a thorn in the side.
In 1808 the monastery was closed and the last Cistercian women left the abbey three years later. Today the DA, Kunsthaus Kloster Gravenhorst, is located here, where exhibitions, concerts and educational programs take place.

As its name suggests, Gravenhorst Abbey was once the center of life for the nuns of the Cistercian Order. It was founded and donated in 1256 by Knight Konrad von Brochterbeck and his wife. Today, artists from the region and from all over the world come together to form art and to show whether in the monastery or in the grounds. You can participate for example in workshops, summer studios or cultural events.
