Kloster und Gymnasium Maria Königin, Catholic monastery and gymnasium in Lennestadt, Germany.
Kloster und Gymnasium Maria Königin is an educational complex with modern buildings and a church topped with a cross, located on elevated ground in Altenhundem. The site spans a large area with various school buildings, sports facilities, and residential spaces for monks and students.
The institution began with a mission school founded in 1920, initially housed in Schloss Adolfsburg in Oberhundem. The relocation to the current site marked a new chapter, and the monastery church was consecrated in 1959.
The monastery church serves students and monks as a daily place of prayer and shapes the appearance of the entire site with its modern architecture. The interior feels bright and open, without unnecessary decoration, giving the space a simple dignity.
The site is easily accessible from the road and offers parking for visitors near the entrance. When exploring the grounds, keep in mind that classes are held during school hours and access to certain buildings may be restricted.
Artist and Father Leo Jahn created several notable works on the grounds, including a fountain with a time theme and a wayfarer's cross. These pieces show the blend of artistic creation and spiritual reflection at this location.
