Bottenbroich Abbey, Cistercian monastery in Rhein-Erft District, Germany.
The monastery complex features architectural elements reflecting the Cistercian values of simplicity in design and functionality in religious spaces.
Founded on January 17, 1201, Bottenbroich Abbey operated under Kamp Abbey supervision until its dissolution in 1802 during German secularization.
The monastery contained a venerated image of the Pietà from 1420, establishing the location as a center for Virgin Mary devotion.
The former monastery site, now called Marienfeld, contains a memorial sundial installed in 2006 by the monks of Stiepel Priory.
Between 1480 and 1486, the monks of Bottenbroich established Mariawald Abbey to manage an additional Marian pilgrimage location.
