Lamspringe Abbey, Benedictine monastery in Lamspringe, Germany.
Lamspringe Abbey is a Benedictine monastery in Lamspringe featuring a three-nave hall church. The building contains six eight-sided pillars and wall supports that hold up four vaulted sections in Westphalian architectural style.
The monastery was founded in 847 by Count Ricdag and changed its religious direction over time. It became a Protestant institution in 1568 until English Benedictines took control in 1643.
The seven Baroque altars in the church show the religious art style of the 17th century. Visitors can observe these crafted works while walking through the interior and discover the skill behind their creation.
Visitors can explore the monastery on guided tours organized by the local tourist information center. It helps to check ahead about which areas are accessible and when visits are possible.
From 1671 to 1803 this monastery was the only English Benedictine institution in Germany. It also ran a school for English Catholic boys, which shaped its role in the local community.
