A place that seems to have fallen out of time. Invites you to stop by and there are plenty of things to see and do.

A well-known sight is the historic monastery, which was founded in 1234 by Heinrich von Barmstede II and converted into a noble women's convent in 1544. The center is the monastery church from 1748 to 1749, a baroque hall building with a pulpit altar and the large ceiling fresco by the Swiss church painter Giovanni Battista Innocenzo Colombo. The former Uetersen monastery has not been fully preserved, but with other listed buildings, such as the monastery outbuilding and the provost's house, it forms the core of the old town and the prioress's house is also the oldest building in the city. The Holstein brick style is typical. Augusta Louise zu Stolberg-Stolberg, who became world famous as Goethe's Gustchen, also lived in the monastery. mein-uetersen.de/Rosenstadt/Historisches-Kloster.html

The Uetersen Monastery in Uetersen in Schleswig-Holstein was founded in the 13th century. The building complex is one of the most important cultural monuments in the Pinneberg district.

In the Middle Ages, two castles of the Knights of Barmstede stood near today's Uetersen monastery area. The remote place was the "extreme end", the extreme end, of their domain. In 1234, Heinrich II of Barmstede designated his property at the edge of the march as a spiritual foundation. He called 12 nuns of the Cistercians from the Reinbek monastery. So a “Cistercian monastery” was built at the “extreme end”. In 1424 the monastery was destroyed by fire with the first monastery church, which, like all the churches of the Cistercian order, was consecrated to the Virgin Mary and also to Saint George as a patron (only in the male monasteries, with the Cistercians also as a second patronage), but rebuilt in 1440.

Through donations, foundations and purchases, the importance of the monastery grew steadily in the following centuries. In the best of times, he owned large estates, a brick factory, a quarry, a fishery and several mills. The scattered land holdings ranged from Neumünster to Altona. Even on the other bank of the Elbe there was land ownership in Kehdinger Land. In addition to the priörin as spiritual leader, Probst regulated the economic (and legal) matters. 30 nuns and 30 lay sisters now belonged to the monastery.

Craftsmen and traders settled in the area of this important business enterprise, which was the monastery. The monastery became the nucleus of Uetersen.
