Herford Abbey, Benedictine monastery in Herford, Germany
The Herford Abbey complex contains numerous buildings including a church that stands at the intersection of the Aa and Werre rivers.
Founded in 789 by nobleman Waltger, the monastery was relocated to its present location around 800 and became an Imperial abbey under Emperor Louis the Pious.
The abbey church, now known as Herford Minster, remains a central religious structure where regular services and ceremonies take place throughout the year.
Visitors enter the abbey complex through Logenplatz 4, where they can explore the preserved medieval structures and religious artifacts during opening hours.
The relics of Saint Pusinna, transported from Châlons-en-Champagne in 860, led to the abbey's dual dedication to Saints Mary and Pusinna.
