Fischbeck Abbey, Lutheran monastery in Hessisch Oldendorf, Germany

The Romanesque architecture of Fischbeck Abbey features stone walls, cloisters, and a church building constructed during the 12th and 13th centuries.

Founded in 955 by noblewoman Helmburgis from the Ecbertiner family, the abbey received its land grant directly from King Otto I of Germany.

The abbey contains a remarkable wall tapestry from 1583 that narrates the foundation story of the monastery through six detailed panels.

Located at Im Stift 6a in Hessisch Oldendorf, the abbey functions as both a religious community for Lutheran women and a museum open to visitors.

The abbey transformed from a Catholic monastery to a Lutheran institution while maintaining its original religious and architectural character through centuries.
