Huysburg, Benedictine monastery in Huy, Germany.

The monastery stands on the Huy hill range near Halberstadt, featuring Romanesque architecture and a church dedicated to St. Mariä Himmelfahrt.

Founded on January 17, 1001, the monastery joined the Bursfelde Congregation reform movement in 1444, reaching a community of 31 monks by late 15th century.

The monastery maintains Benedictine traditions through daily prayers, educational programs, and religious services while operating as the only Benedictine monastery in former East Germany.

The Ekkehard House accommodates visitors with 40 rooms and 60 beds, offering facilities for conferences, celebrations, and individual stays throughout the year.

The monastery grounds contain remains of a circular rampart from a Frankish castle built around 790 AD during Charlemagne's Saxon Wars.
