Dominikanerorden in Warburg, Dominican monastery in Warburg, Germany
The Dominican monastery complex consists of two separate buildings situated on a hillside, featuring Gothic architectural elements and traditional religious structures.
Bishop Otto von Rietberg invited the Dominican Order to Warburg in 1281, where they initially settled near the Old Town Church before building their own facilities.
The monastery developed into an educational center through its monastic school, which later transformed into the Gymnasium Marianum, contributing to local academic advancement.
The original Dominican buildings now serve different purposes, with one section functioning as the Gymnasium Marianum and another as the Syrian Orthodox Monastery of St. Jacob.
In 1993, the Dominican Order presented the city museum with a rare 1485 Bible printed by Hans Grüninger as a farewell gift upon leaving Warburg.
