Augustinerchorfrauenstift Weißenstein, zeitweise Doppelstift
Augustinerchorfrauenstift Weißenstein, zeitweise Doppelstift, Medieval monastery at Habichtswald slopes in Kassel, Germany.
The Augustinerchorfrauenstift Weißenstein stands on white limestone rocks above the village of Wahlershausen, featuring elements of medieval monastic architecture.
Founded around 1137 as a collegiate foundation, the monastery transformed from a male institution to a dual monastery by 1184, and became exclusively female by 1193.
The monastery maintained connections with the Archdiocese of Mainz and received protection from Saint Martin, reflecting regional ecclesiastical relationships.
After the introduction of the Reformation in Hesse in 1526, the monastery ceased operations and the nuns relocated to other religious institutions.
The site later transformed into a hunting lodge for the Landgraves and eventually became the location of the current Wilhelmshöhe Palace.
