Monastery Neukloster

Monastery Neukloster is a brick complex featuring a church, residential quarters, and service buildings arranged around a central courtyard. The structures display architectural styles from different periods within medieval and early modern construction.

The monastery was founded as a Benedictine community and later came under Cistercian order leadership. This transition shaped its buildings and religious structure for centuries to come.

The monastery remains an active center of prayer and spiritual life, where monks follow monastic rules in their daily work and contemplation. Visitors can sense the quiet order and rhythm of this communal religious existence.

Visitors can explore the monastery through guided tours that showcase the medieval buildings and religious artifacts on display. The complex opens at specific times and allows guests to walk through the courtyards and interior spaces.

The monastery was once known as Kloster Sonnenkamp before taking its current name. This earlier name reflects the sunny position and the long-standing presence of the religious community in the region.
