    Beautiful courtyard on the edge of the Birgeler Jungwald hiking trail.

      Just have a look. Meanwhile privately inhabited former Cistercian monastery and former seat of a forestry administration. Probably created around 1732.

        The first documentary mention tells of a sale of the Dalheim mill with the associated pond and lands in 1231 by Heinrich Herr zu Helpenstein to the Cistercian convent in Ophoven. In 1258 the monastery also moved to the neighboring monastery courtyard in Dalheim.
        In 1775, the last abbess of Dalheim, Maria Anna von Oyen, had the current mill building built after a fire. The coat of arms attached to a granite plaque above the entrance to the mill is a reminder of this. In the monastery mill, which was not a ban mill, there was a grain mill and an oil press. After the monastery was dissolved in 1802, the mill was privatized.

          The former monastery complex is located in the middle of the Dalheimer Forest, directly on the Mühlenstraße and only a few meters from the Dalheimer Mühle.

            An old monastery complex surrounds with water. It is inhabited by several families. If you walk across the courtyard you can walk on the other side.

                A nunnery was located here until 1815.

                  Residential community in a former monastery farm. Very attractive place.
