Kloster Groß Ammensleben, Benedictine abbey in Groß Ammensleben, Germany

The monastery features a church built with rubble stones, incorporating Romanesque columns adorned with checkerboard friezes and palmette decorative patterns.

Founded in 1110 by Graf Theoderich II and his wife Amulrada, the monastery initially housed Augustinian Canons before transitioning to Benedictine monks in 1129.

The monastery stands as part of the Romanesque Road in Saxony-Anhalt, marking the first station on the northern route toward Altmark.

The former monastery grounds now function as a public gathering space with an information center, while the church continues to serve Catholic services.

The monastery's northwestern tower remains the only completed structure of an original four-tower design, topped by a distinctive three-part bell chamber.
