Kloster Wedinghausen, Premonstratensian monastery in Arnsberg, Germany.
The monastery complex contains a cruciform church, chapter house, sacristy, and cloisters with preserved medieval architectural elements and decorative stonework.
Founded in 1173 by Count Heinrich I of Arnsberg, the monastery served as a cathedral during visits of Cologne archbishops until its dissolution in 1803.
The monastery maintained a scriptorium where writers like Richard von Arnsberg created manuscripts, building the largest library in the Duchy of Westphalia.
Public guided tours of the monastery, including the cloisters, chapter house, and sacristy with medieval frescoes, are announced in parish newsletters.
During French occupation in 1794, the monastery protected the Shrine of the Three Kings from Cologne Cathedral, establishing a lasting connection.
