Stift Clarholz, Premonstratensian monastery in Herzebrock-Clarholz, Germany.

The Stift Clarholz monastery features Gothic architectural elements and includes multiple buildings arranged around a central courtyard with educational facilities.

Founded in 1133 by Rudolf von Steinfurt, the monastery operated continuously until 1803 when secularization processes led to its transformation into different facilities.

The monastery preserves a medieval reliquary from Limoges containing relics of Thomas Becket, the Archbishop of Canterbury from the 12th century.

The Freundeskreis Propstei Clarholz organization manages cultural events and operates a museum detailing the monastery's extensive history within the premises.

Located at the intersection of three historic dioceses - Münster, Osnabrück, and Paderborn - the monastery maintained economic connections reaching to the Zuiderzee until 1549.
