Brauweiler Abbey, Benedictine monastery in Pulheim, Germany
The monastery buildings exhibit baroque architectural elements with a prominent church dedicated to Saints Nicholas and Medardus at its center point.
Founded in 1024 by Pfalzgraf Ezzo and Matilda of Germany, the abbey served as a burial place for members of the Ezzonian dynasty.
The monastery now functions as headquarters for cultural departments of the Rhineland Regional Council, organizing exhibitions and concerts throughout the year.
Located west of Cologne, the abbey complex maintains regular visiting hours and provides guided tours through its historical structures and gardens.
Between 1933 and 1945, the abbey buildings were used by the Gestapo for detention, including future Chancellor Konrad Adenauer among its prisoners.
