Varensell Abbey, Benedictine abbey in Rietberg, Germany.

Varensell Abbey is a Benedictine nuns' monastery near Rietberg in the Gütersloh district. Its church, consecrated on 22 September 1956, is shared by the convent and the parish. The grounds also hold a book and art shop, a vestment workshop, a host-baking bakery and a farm.

Varensell was founded in 1902 as a priory of the Benedictine Sisters of Perpetual Adoration, with the first nuns arriving from Maria Hamicolt near Dülmen. It was raised to the status of an abbey in 1948, when Juliana Tüte became its first abbess, and it left the Perpetual Adoration congregation. In 1982 the abbey was received into the Beuronese Congregation.

The sisters who live here produce altar bread and liturgical garments in their workshops while running a religious bookstore with handcrafted items. Visitors can observe how these daily tasks are woven into the rhythm of community life and prayer.

Visitors can attend daily prayer services held at various times throughout the day. The grounds are easily accessible from Rietberg's town center and offer a quiet space for walking and reflection.

The abbey's workshops include a Paramentenwerkstatt, a book and art shop, and a hostienbäckerei, or altar bread bakery. The nuns also run an agricultural holding and offer retreats at Haus St. Benedikt. Women considering religious life can test their vocation through the Kloster auf Zeit, or monastery on time, programme.
