Börstel convent, Gothic monastery in Berge, Germany
The Börstel convent features brick walls and Gothic architecture, situated at the northern edge of the Osnabrück district within the Börsteler Forest.
The monastery originated in 1244 when Counts Otto I and Johann I of Oldenburg established it under the name Rosental in Menslage before relocating to Börstel.
The monastery transformed from a Cistercian convent into a secular ladies' foundation, combining Lutheran and Catholic elements in its religious services.
Modern visitors can participate in religious activities, stay overnight in the complex, and attend cultural events such as concerts and lectures.
The four-nave church dedicated to Saint Mary remains the focal point of the monastery grounds, constructed with local brick in early Gothic style.
