Benediktiner-Doppelkloster Thedinga

The double monastery complex near Nüttermoor accommodates separate living quarters for both male and female religious members of the Benedictine order.

First documented in 1270, the monastery experienced destruction in 1399 by Widzeld tom Brok, followed by reconstruction efforts initiated by Sister Pellica eight years later.

The monastery served as a center of religious education and spiritual development, with its organ later transferred to the St. Georg-Christophorus-Jodokus Church in Stellichte.

No original structures remain at the site today, though visitors can observe remnants of the monastery grounds, which once encompassed 283 hectares of land.

The monastery maintained dual communities until 1616, with Prioress Frauke von Jemgum recorded as the last known resident of this religious institution.
