    The monastery church is a widely visible landmark of Gräfrath
    St. Maria Himmelfahrt with her eight-sided roof turret and the
    "Lantern", a turret-like attachment. The church is the oldest building in town, built around 1195 as a Romanesque pillar basilica and
    Collegiate Church of the Augustinian Choir Women. After several fires, the picture is today baroque; inside there are three original baroque altars from the early 17th century. The former monastery building now houses the German Blade Museum.

    The Gräfrath Monastery was a Benedictine Order women's monastery founded in 1187 in the Gräfrath district of Solingen. At the beginning of the 17th century it was converted into a monastery for the Augustinian choir women. The pen was abolished in 1803. The former monastery church has become the Catholic parish church of St. Mary of the Assumption.
    The church is located directly above the historic city center. There are a number of nice restaurants on the market square, where you can sit outside in summer.
