Kloster Dalheim, Medieval monastery and brewery in Lichtenau, Germany.
The Kloster Dalheim complex features a Gothic church, a cloister, a mill, a smithy, and gardens spread across its extensive grounds.
Founded in the 15th century as an Augustinian canonry, the monastery operated until 1803 when secularization transformed it into agricultural facilities.
The monastery museum displays permanent exhibitions about monastic culture, including artifacts and historical items that document religious life through centuries.
Visitors can explore the museum from Tuesday to Sunday, taste local beers at the brewery, and dine at the Klosterwirtshaus restaurant.
The monastery's Baroque courtyard houses multiple historical rooms, including the Brewery Cellar that seats 100 people for special events.

North Rhine-Westphalia contains many sites that demonstrate the historical and cultural richness of this German region. Millennia-old geological formations, Roman relics, medieval fortresses, and industrial era monuments reveal different aspects of the regional heritage. These destinations include the Zollverein coal mine industrial complex in Essen, a UNESCO World Heritage site that chronicles the history of the Ruhr area, and the archaeological park in Xanten featuring reconstructions of the Roman city Colonia Ulpia Traiana.
