Birgittenkloster Bremen

Birgittenkloster Bremen is a religious complex in the Schnoor district composed of three connected structures. The buildings include a tower with guest rooms, a two-story nuns' wing, and a chapel opening onto a garden.

The monastery was founded in October 2002 as the first of its kind in Bremen since the Protestant Reformation. It was established through the initiative of Maria Elisabeth Hesselblad to revive the Bridgettine order.

The community maintains daily routines centered on prayer and meals shared in the dining hall. The spaces are simple and reflect the monastic way of living.

The monastery provides guest accommodations with access to shared spaces including the chapel, dining hall, and reading room. Visitors should plan ahead since the community follows structured daily schedules that guests are expected to respect.

The chapel has a white interior that contrasts with its terracotta exterior, creating a calm space for prayer. Prayer shapes the daily rhythm of life here and remains central to why the monastery exists.
