The church Maria Magdalena in Beyenburg is a station on the Bergisch Way of St. James

The monastery church was built in 1497 for the stone house monastery. For centuries, in addition to the monastery church, there was also a small Catholic town church for the city dwellers. As part of the Prussian secularization, the monastery was closed and the monastery church is now open to all city dwellers.

The church in Beyenburg is also the last destination of the Westphalian Way of St. James. Here all pilgrims get their last stamp.

"At the end of the 13th century, the Counts of Berg secured a castle on the trade route that led from Lübeck via Hamburg, Bremen, Osnabrück, Münster and Dortmund to Cologne, which served them as a border fortress. The fortified courtyard had previously been there since 1182 There is evidence of a stone house in their possession, which apparently also served to secure the border and lost this function with the construction of the new castle. The counts left the farm in 1298 to the Order of the Holy Cross, whose members were initially Cross Brothers and since the middle of the 15th century . Century called Kreuzherren. In 1302, they added this gift to the creep in 1485 that the courtyard and a chapel belonging to it, the court and a chapel that belonged to it, only from 1485 were the gift. on the ridge to the east of the castle. In 1497, apparently after the completion of the residential and farm buildings, the monastery church was also started, the construction of which lasted until the early 16th century. She was consecrated to the patronage of St. Mary Magdalene. Around 1700 the residential buildings were partially renovated. After the monastery was abolished as a result of secularization in 1803, it was partially demolished, but the church, the east wing of the monastery complex and six bays of the southern cloister wing survived. ..."
