Dalum Abbey, 12th-century monastery in Dalum, Denmark

The red-walled abbey stands on the banks of Odense Å river, featuring remnants of a square cloister within its north wing structure.

Benedictine nuns transferred from their Nonnebakken convent in central Odense to establish Dalum Abbey during the late eleventh century.

The abbey remains an essential part of Danish ecclesiastical heritage, documented extensively in Danmarks Kirker historical records.

The monastery now functions as a retreat center with accommodations for elderly residents and visitors seeking a place for reflection.

This former convent underwent transformation into a public space with climate-friendly housing while maintaining its original hilltop landscape.
