    Dinklage Castle Monastery (St. Scholastica Abbey) is the name of a Benedictine abbey located within Dinklage Castle in Dinklage, Vechta district, in the Oldenburg Münsterland region of Lower Saxony.

    The abbey is named after Saint Scholastica, the sister of Saint Benedict of Nursia. The monastery is located within Dinklage Castle, a moated castle that was owned by the Westphalian noble von Galen family until 1949. Clemens August Graf von Galen (1878–1946), later Bishop and Cardinal of Münster, was born in the castle. He was beatified by Pope Benedict XVI on October 9, 2005.

    The castle has been located within the "Dinklage Castle" nature reserve since 1983.[1] In 2017, the Burgwald Dinklage nature reserve, in which the castle is embedded, was removed from this.[2]
