Medingen Abbey, Protestant monastery and museum in Bad Bevensen, Germany.
The neoclassical building of Medingen Abbey stands on the banks of the Ilmenau River, with St. Mauritius Church forming its central structure.
Founded in 1201, Medingen Abbey transformed into a Protestant institution during the mid-16th century, following resistance and conflicts during the Reformation period.
The monastery preserves medieval treasures including the abbess's crozier from 1494 and a golden relic statue of St. Mauritius from the 15th century.
Guided tours operate Tuesday through Sunday at 14:00 from April 1 to October 20, with a duration of 90 minutes and special arrangements for groups.
The monastery functions as an Evangelical Women's Convent with 14 members, led by an abbess who oversees the preservation of historical artifacts and art collections.
