Kloster vom Guten Hirten, Gothic Revival monastery in Aachen, Germany.
The Kloster vom Guten Hirten features five floors with cross-vaulted corridors, original tiled floors, and traditional stairways throughout the structure.
Constructed between 1886 and 1887 by architect Hermann Joseph Hürth, the monastery served as a Catholic institution for young women until 1982.
The Sisters of the Good Shepherd operated this facility to provide education and support for young women from challenging social backgrounds.
The building complex, located on Am Guten Hirten 4, includes a former student house, washhouse, and priest residence protected as architectural monuments.
The monastery grounds contain a small cemetery with approximately 70 grave markers dedicated to the religious sisters who served there.
