Marienfeld Abbey, Cistercian monastery in Harsewinkel, Germany.
The Marienfeld Abbey complex includes a main church building, stone walls, and garden areas across its grounds in North Rhine-Westphalia.
Founded in 1185 by monks from Hardehausen Abbey, the monastery functioned until 1803 when German Mediatisation transformed it into state property.
The abbey maintains traditional Cistercian architectural elements with its functional design, reflecting medieval monastic building principles.
Two Benedictine monks currently maintain the premises, which remains accessible for religious services and guided visits throughout the year.
The transformation from Cistercian to parish church in 1804 preserved the religious function of the site despite the dissolution of its original community.
