Benediktinerinnenabtei Burg Dinklage, Benedictine abbey in Dinklage, Germany.
The stone castle complex features a surrounding moat system and houses a community of 19 Benedictine nuns within its medieval walls.
The water castle, dating from the 15th century, belonged to three noble families: von Dincklage, von Ledebur, and von Galen until 1949.
The abbey follows the Rule of Saint Benedict, balancing daily prayer with work activities while maintaining traditional monastic practices.
The monastery shop sells handmade items including hosts, candles, icons, and seasonal products from their garden between 9:00 AM and 5:45 PM.
Cardinal Clemens August von Galen, known as the Bishop of Münster from 1933 to 1946, was born within these castle walls in 1878.
