Walsrode Abbey, Lutheran women's convent in Walsrode, Germany
The monastery complex includes the Long House from 1720 and maintains its original brick walls and stained glass windows in the chapel.
Count Wale and his wife Odelint established the monastery in 986, making it the oldest institution in the former Principality of Lüneburg.
The refectory stands as an endowment from Kaiser Wilhelm II and his empress, representing imperial German architectural preferences.
The Klosterkammer Hannover manages the site, which functions both as an active religious community and a museum open to visitors.
A lightning strike in 1482 resulted in the reconstruction of the monastery, incorporating late Gothic elements into its architecture.
