Gut Marienforst, Former Birgittine monastery in Bad Godesberg, Germany.
The monastery complex includes preserved sections of the abbess house from 1752, a bakery, and an entrance gate from 1652 surrounded by original monastery walls.
The monastery, first documented in 1228 as Conventus apud Cottenforst, became a double monastery in 1450 under Archbishop Dietrich von Moers for both male and female religious orders.
The monastery gained regional importance in the 17th century due to a Saint Sebastian relic, hosting 21 nuns and 14 monks along with 30 employees.
The site currently operates as a dairy farm with automated raw milk dispensers available to customers outside regular store hours.
Ludwig van Beethoven reportedly played the monastery church organ during a visit in the early 1790s, before the church's demolition in 1804.
