Ebstorf Abbey, Lutheran convent in Ebstorf, Germany.
The Ebstorf Abbey church features a raised nun's gallery and displays the architectural characteristics of North German Brick Gothic construction from the 14th century.
Founded in 1160 as the Priory of Saint Maurice for Premonstratensian Canons Regular, the abbey transformed into a Lutheran convent during the Protestant Reformation in 1529.
The abbey maintains a replica of the Ebstorf Map, a medieval mappa mundi that illustrated the Christian understanding of the world before its destruction in 1943.
Visitors can explore the abbey exclusively through guided tours, as it remains an active religious community under the direction of a Lutheran abbess.
The monastery houses medieval artifacts including a baptismal font from 1310, statues of the Virgin Mary from the 13th century, and a pulpit from 1615.
