Fountain at Clarholz Monastery

Highlight • Monument

The Clarholz monastery is always worth a visit. Very beautiful surroundings and a beautiful monastery garden surrounded by water. Right by the fountain you will find the Rugge restaurant and right next door an ice cream parlor. It is a lovely place to sit outside.

Clarholz Abbey

Highlight • Religious Site

From 1133 to 1803 the Clarholz monastery was a provost of the Premonstratensians. In the border region of the dioceses of Münster, Osnabrück and Paderborn, the monastery formed a religious center with a rich culture and importance for the local economy. The monastery museum is open from the beginning of June to mid-October on Sundays from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. It is always worthwhile to take a lap over the extensive grounds with the large garden and take a look at the St. Laurentius Church.

September 23, 2025,Klosteranlage Clarholz und die Clarholzer Klosterwälder

With the beautiful weather today, I just have to go hiking again. We quickly convinced my better half and off we went to Clarholz.
After having already visited the Herzebrock Monastery Forests, we wanted to explore the Clarholz Monastery Forests and the former monastery complex today.
The route is well signposted and very varied, but also often paved.
No problem …
