Tom Roden, Medieval monastery ruins near Lüchtringen, Germany
The archaeological site contains foundation walls of a former Benedictine monastery with informative panels explaining the historical layout and structures.
The monastery functioned as a provostry of Corvey from the 13th to 16th centuries, with the first documented mention of Saint Mary Magdalene chapel in 1184.
Archaeological investigations between 1975 and 1980 revealed a three-nave basilica measuring 37 meters long with a west tower and separate areas for monks.
The site remains accessible every day, situated near industrial areas with limited parking spaces, requiring visitors to walk a short distance to the ruins.
The excavated structures revealed advanced water supply networks and heating systems from the 13th century, along with a cemetery containing 52 discovered skeletons.
