    Around 1200 the Wennigsen monastery was founded for Augustinian choir women. After the almost complete destruction of the complex in 1626, reconstruction work dragged on for more than a century. In 2002 the house for silence and encounters in the monastery was opened. Events take place regularly, more information is available at kloster-wennigsen.de.

      You should have seen the monastery to understand that the tip is worth it.

        A visit to these buildings from the Middle Ages and the Baroque period is recommended. The Romanesque defensive tower (around 1150) and some parts of the wall are the oldest part of the monastery church. The tympanum, which is now in the entrance area of the monastery church, is the oldest architectural monument in northern Germany. The monastery buildings, as you see them today, were built between 1707 and 1725. However, the history of the monastery goes back much further. It was founded around 1200 as a monastery for Augustinian choir nuns. The oldest document dates from 1224. After 1542, when the Reformation also reached the Calenberger Land, the transition to a Protestant women's monastery took place. Since then, a Protestant women's convent has lived here. Today, the Wennigsen monastery offers a wide range of activities: in addition to meditation courses and open meditation days, the retreat option "temporary monastery" and monastery days are also offered.

              The Johanniterhaus at the Wennigsen monastery offers Tuesday to Friday from 11:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. a weekly changing lunch menu in the beautiful beer garden; highly recommended 👍
