Abbaye de Sterkrade, Cistercian monastery in Sterkrade, Oberhausen, Germany.
The Sterkrade Abbey consists of a medieval complex with both historic monastic buildings and a modern chapel constructed in 1953.
Founded in 1240 with support from the von Hillen and von Holten noble families, the monastery received approval from Cologne Archbishop Konrad von Hochstaden.
The monastery maintained Catholic traditions during the Protestant Reformation period in the County of Cleves through religious practices and community engagement.
The original Romanesque church structure underwent modifications in 1872, with subsequent repairs following damage during World War II.
The monastery transformed into a pilgrimage destination in 1738 after the appearance of an image that drew religious visitors to the site.
