Kloster Langwaden, Cistercian monastery in Grevenbroich, Germany
The Langwaden Abbey features three wings of baroque architecture with rectangular windows and a central courtyard surrounded by stone walkways.
Founded in 1145 by Count Christian von Wevelinghoven, the monastery underwent reconstruction in 1693 under Provost Jakob II Tillmanns with baroque architectural elements.
The monastery maintains Cistercian traditions through religious services, exhibitions of sacred art, and preservation of medieval monastic practices.
Visitors can experience regional German cuisine at the monastery restaurant, which serves daily lunch specials and seasonal menus throughout the year.
The monastery served as a refuge for Cistercian monks from Osek Abbey who fled Czechoslovakia, leading to its restoration as a religious community in 1964.
