Kloster Wiebrechtshausen, Cistercian monastery in Northeim, Germany

The monastery features a Romanesque basilica constructed with limestone walls and red sandstone architectural elements, standing at the foot of Nonnenberg hill.

Established between 1207 and 1245, the monastery received its first documented mention as Wicberneshusen in 1240 under Abbess Hedwig von Gandersheim.

The church interior displays the characteristic simplicity of Cistercian architecture, with three dome vaults covering the nave and an unadorned stone construction.

The monastery grounds now function as an organic farm operated by KWS Saat SE, conducting agricultural research and variety trials for ecological farming.

Duke Otto the Quaden's burial site lies within a Gothic chapel added around 1400, following his posthumous release from excommunication.
