Kloster Steinhaus, Medieval monastery complex in Beyenburg district, Wuppertal, Germany.

The monastery features a late Gothic church of Saint Maria Magdalena with architectural elements dating back to 1485 in Wuppertal's eastern region.

Count Adolf V of Berg donated the Steinhaus estate and its chapel to the Order of the Holy Cross before 1296, leading to the monastery's establishment.

The monastery serves as a center for spiritual guidance, education, and care for the poor in surrounding communities of North Rhine-Westphalia.

Visitors can explore the monastery grounds, which include the church, remaining medieval structures, and a bronze statue of Maria Magdalena.

Kloster Steinhaus remains the only German monastery of the Order of the Holy Cross following its reconsecration in 1964 after previous secularization.
