Kloster Rastede, Medieval monastery in Rastede, Germany.
The monastery complex features a three-wing building with baroque architectural elements, French gardens, and extensive palace grounds along the northern German landscape.
Count Huno and his wife Willna established the monastery in 1091, dedicating it to the Virgin Mary before the House of Oldenburg became hereditary custodians.
The monastery transformed from a religious center to a cultural venue where local residents participate in community events and artistic performances throughout the year.
Visitors can explore the renovated palace structure, which now functions as a municipal cultural center offering guided tours and exhibition spaces.
The former monastery site underwent multiple transformations, including periods as a hunting lodge, summer residence, and home to an exiled Danish princess.
