Gut Holthausen, Cistercian monastery in Büren, Germany
The monastery features a two-story quadrangle enclosing a small courtyard with a cloister and a church distinguished by its Baroque roof turret.
Founded in 1243 by the noble lords of Büren as a family monastery, Gut Holthausen operated as a Cistercian convent until its secularization in 1810.
The monastery church contains furnishings from Johann Heinrich Falter's workshop, including the high altar, statues, and gallery dating from the late 18th century.
The historical complex maintains regular visiting hours and provides guided tours through its medieval structure and Baroque architectural elements.
The ceiling of the church displays an inscription from Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, while gravestones of former abbesses remain embedded in the floor.
