Kloster Riechenberg, Medieval monastery ruins in Goslar, Germany.

The monastery complex includes a three-nave Romanesque crypt with detailed stone carvings and architectural elements from the 12th century.

Founded in 1117 under the Virgin Mary's protection, the monastery transformed from Benedictine to Augustinian following Bishop Bernhard I's occupation in 1131.

The monastery served as a center for religious studies and manuscript production, influencing the spiritual development of northern Germany during medieval times.

Guided tours of the Romanesque crypt and monastery grounds operate from May to October, with access from the B 82 highway.

The monastery houses the Evangelical Brotherhood of Gethsemane while maintaining its historical crypt, considered among northern Germany's finest Romanesque structures.
