Kloster Schwarzenbroich
Kloster Schwarzenbroich, Medieval monastery ruins in Langerwehe, Germany.
The monastery remains include walls up to 6 meters high, located in a forest between Gürzenich and Schevenhütte in North Rhine-Westphalia.
The Order of the Holy Cross established the monastery in 1340 after Werner von Merode received permission from Archbishop Walram of Cologne.
The monastery site intersects with the Jakobsweg pilgrimage route, marked by scallop shells, leading from Düren to the pilgrimage site of Kornelimünster.
The ruins remain accessible for visitors, with ongoing preservation efforts led by a support association announced in April 2023.
The monastery accumulated substantial wealth in the 15th century as its members came from affluent Rhineland noble families who contributed land and assets.
