Kloster Wormeln, Cistercian monastery in Wormeln, Germany
The Kloster Wormeln complex includes a Gothic church, convent buildings, and agricultural structures spread across the village of Wormeln near Warburg.
Founded in 1246 by the sons of Count Albrecht III of Everstein, the monastery operated as a Cistercian convent until its dissolution by Jérôme Bonaparte in 1810.
The monastery church contains medieval wall frescoes and a Romanesque baptismal font, representing the artistic traditions of medieval religious architecture in North Rhine-Westphalia.
While the church remains active for religious services, the monastery buildings are now privately owned and serve as agricultural facilities.
The monastery became the largest landowner in Wormeln through donations and acquisitions, leading to the Wormeln Monastery War of 1797 over peasant tributes.
