Lamspringe Abbey, Benedictine monastery in Lamspringe, Germany.
The monastery features a three-nave hall church with six eight-sided pillars and wall consoles supporting four vaulted bays in Westphalian architecture.
Founded by Count Ricdag in 847, the monastery transformed from an Augustinian convent to a Protestant institution in 1568 before English Benedictines established control in 1643.
The interior of the monastery church contains seven preserved Baroque altars that demonstrate the religious artistic traditions of the 17th century.
Visitors can explore the monastery grounds through guided tours arranged at the tourist information center located at Kloster 3, 31195 Lamspringe.
From 1671 until 1803, the monastery operated as the sole English Benedictine institution in Germany and included a school for English Catholic boys.
