a beautiful estate or former monastery with great buildings, there is a lot to see here. A very long wall runs along the main road, which encloses this area, unfortunately you cannot see into the large park from there.

There is an old Augustinian monastery in Dorstadt. However, as our local heritage officer Werner Baum explained, this has nothing to do with the so-called "Dorstadt Monastery" from the novel "Pope Joan." In his opinion, the monastery described in the novel is more likely a monastery in southern Germany.If you are interested in history, a visit to Dorstadt is definitely worthwhile.The former monastery has since become a manor house. Cultural events are held here regularly.
