Lippoldsberg Monastery
Lippoldsberg Monastery, Benedictine monastery in Wesertal, Germany.
Lippoldsberg Monastery is a former Benedictine convent in Wesertal featuring a Romanesque basilica with preserved medieval architectural details. The church displays the characteristic thick walls and rounded arches typical of the Romanesque period.
The monastery was founded around 1100 and functioned as a Benedictine convent until 1569. The Reformation brought a major change, transforming it into a state property under Hessian control.
The monastery church honors Saint George and Mary, reflecting how monks expressed their faith through architecture and sacred space. Visitors can still experience how this place functioned as a spiritual center for the community.
The former monastery buildings now host the Herman Nohl Haus, a hostel for visitors exploring the region. Staying on the grounds offers a direct way to experience the history and architecture of the site.
A nearby ferry crosses the Weser River and carries vehicles to the other bank, connecting to the road network. This small car ferry adds a distinctive element to visiting the monastery and exploring the surrounding area.
