Kloster Drübeck

The Drübeck monastery is already over 1000 years old and parts of the building from that time are still preserved. Today it is the conference center of the Evangelical Church and the monastery gardens are part of the "Garden Dreams" project of the state of Saxony-Anhalt. The monastery linden tree in the courtyard is almost 300 years old and is one of the natural monuments in the Harz Mountains.

Hikers can stop here, spend the night and there are regular tours and events.

The Drübeck Abbey is a former Benedictine abbey in Ilsenburg on the northern edge of the Harz Mountains in Saxony-Anhalt. Today it is a conference center of the Evangelical Church in Central Germany with a pedagogical-theological institute, a house of silence, a pastoral college and a media center.

The monastery garden is one of the 50 “garden dreams” - a story of regional garden art in Saxony-Anhalt. The garden is open to visitors all year round. More information about the "garden dreams" can be found at: gartentraeume-sachsen-anhalt.de

The Garden Dreams – Historical Parks in Saxony-Anhalt project, as a monument preservation and tourism network, pursues the goal of rediscovering the garden cultural heritage in Saxony-Anhalt.
The historical parks, some of which have already been forgotten, are made known to a broad public.
The beginnings of the project go back to 1999.
50 parks of different character throughout Saxony-Anhalt belong to the network. These include the Dessau-Wörlitz Garden Realm, the Elbauenpark in Magdeburg, the Europa-Rosarium in Sangerhausen, the maze in Altjeßnitz, the Brühl, the baroque garden of St. Ulrich in Müchel and the abbey garden in Quedlinburg, the castle gardens in Blankenburg (Harz) or the Castle and Castle Park Dieskau.
Since the beginning of 2006, the Garden Dreams have been marketed to tourists with their own logo.
In October 2017, the title, which had previously been awarded to 43 gardens, was now awarded to 50 gardens; three parks lost it, however, such as Gutspark Seggerde.

The linden is said to have grown together from 7 individual trees.
The planting date is possibly around 1730, during the transformation of the monastery garden.
