    In 1181, Friedrich von Mackenstedt founded a Benedictine monastery in Heiligenrode, which became a double monastery in 1189 and a nunnery only in 1194, but initially under the leadership of a prior. From 1496, an abbess headed the monastery. In 1527, the Reformation began here, but it did not fully take hold until 1570. In 1634, the monastery property was confiscated by Duke Friedrich Ulrich of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel.

    Monastery church St. Marien zu Heiligenrode
    The Heiligenrode monastery was founded in 1182, the church was initially built from wood and the forest was cleared, hence the name.
    It is part of the Stuhr cycle pilgrimage route. There is also a pilgrim pass with the stations. Unfortunately I couldn't go inside and see them from the inside.
