Kloster Bersenbrück, Cistercian monastery in Bersenbrück, Germany.

The monastery complex features a baroque entrance gate from 1700 and contains multiple buildings arranged around a central courtyard with stone walls.

Founded in 1231 by Count Otto II of Ravensberg and his wife Sophia, the monastery operated as a Cistercian women's abbey under its first abbess Clementia.

The monastery museum presents a collection spanning 700 years of history, including artifacts from religious life and regional cultural developments through exhibitions.

The former monastery buildings now serve as a district court and museum, which received recognition for its educational programs in 2022.

The monastery gardens underwent recent renovations based on historical documentation, incorporating native plants to support local bird and insect populations.
