Kloster Benden, Cistercian monastery in Brühl, Germany.
The monastery buildings display architectural elements of Cistercian design, incorporating principles of simplicity and functionality throughout the stone structures.
Founded in 1207, Kloster Benden operated as a Cistercian nunnery until 1802, when the monastery closed during the period of secularization in Germany.
The nuns of Kloster Benden dedicated their lives to religious practices while contributing to agricultural development and education in the surrounding community.
The monastery grounds are open to visitors who can explore the historical architecture and learn about monastic life through informational displays.
Despite its closure in 1802, the monastery buildings remain intact and stand as a designated architectural heritage monument in North Rhine-Westphalia.
