Minster in Thanet Priory, Medieval priory in Minster-in-Thanet, England.

The priory contains both Saxon and Norman architectural elements, with stone walls and detailed archways throughout its religious structures.

Founded around 670 AD by Princess Domne Eafe of Kent, the priory received land as compensation for her murdered brothers.

The monastery follows Benedictine traditions, maintaining daily prayer routines and religious ceremonies according to Saint Benedict's guidelines.

Visitors can join guided tours on Saturday mornings to explore the exterior of the Saxon and Norman wings of the priory.

The grounds feature a relic of Saint Mildred, returned from the Netherlands in 1953 after centuries away from its original location.
