Kloster Schinna, Medieval monastery in Stolzenau, Germany.

The abbey complex includes four preserved buildings, including the abbot's residence and two conventual structures dating from the 13th and 14th centuries.

Founded in 1148 by Count Wilbrand I of Loccum-Hallermund, the monastery received its consecration in 1153 and joined the Bursfelde Congregation in 1466.

Archaeological excavations between 2009 and 2011 revealed foundations and details about the construction and furnishings of the former monastery church.

The site functions as a historical monument where visitors can examine the architectural elements of medieval monastic construction in Lower Saxony.

The monastery strategically positioned itself along the route to Frisian possessions, indicating its role in medieval territorial administration and religious networks.
