Johanniterkapelle, Medieval monastery in Saterland, Germany
The Johanniterkapelle stands near the Sagter Ems river in Bokelesch, featuring traditional architectural elements of the Knights Hospitaller order.
The monastery, established during the 13th century by Johanniters from Burgsteinfurt, remained active until 1587 when the last religious members departed.
The chapel functioned as a spiritual center for a combined community of monks and nuns who maintained religious practices while managing agricultural activities.
Visitors can attend religious services every Friday at 9:15 AM and Sunday at 6:30 PM in this preserved medieval structure.
A cross-shaped hagioscope near the entrance allowed excluded individuals to view altar ceremonies without entering the main chapel space.
