Isenhagen Abbey, Medieval Cistercian monastery in Hankensbüttel, Germany.

The abbey features Gothic buildings with half-timbered Baroque wings, containing medieval furnishings, carved altars, and religious sculptures throughout its halls.

Founded in 1243 by Duchess Agnes of Landsberg, the monastery relocated to Hankensbüttel in 1329 following a fire at its original location.

The monastery maintains a collection of painted altars, religious sculptures, and embroidered altar cloths decorated with golden reliefs and pearls.

The monastery remains active and requires advance reservations for guided tours, with contact available through phone at +49 5832 313.

The name Isenhagen comes from the nearby River Ise and adjacent woodland, reflecting the natural geography of Lower Saxony.
