The monastery complex, enclosed by a dry-stone wall and covering over six hectares, is situated at the highest point of the Huywald forest. The monastery buildings, including the church and cloister, stand to the west on the hilltop. The farm buildings and the monastery garden are located in the area to the east, which lies almost four meters lower.

The monastery church of St. Maria, consecrated in 1121, is an important monument of Lower Saxon architecture between early and high Romanesque architecture. The monastery church in its current form is a three-aisled, cruciform basilica with a flat-roofed central aisle and beltless cross-vaulted side aisles. It was built from yellowish shell limestone, which is present on the site.
