Kloster Brenkhausen, Cistercian monastery in Höxter, Germany
The monastery complex consists of three baroque wings, constructed between 1710 and 1746, surrounding a central courtyard with a church at its center.
Founded in 1245 for Cistercian nuns, the monastery experienced substantial damage during the Thirty Years' War and underwent extensive rebuilding in the following centuries.
The Coptic Orthodox Church acquired the monastery in 1993, establishing it as a center for Egyptian Christian traditions in Germany under Bishop Anba Damian.
Visitors can attend religious services in the Coptic language, explore the Bible museum, and dine at the Saint Markus restaurant within the monastery grounds.
The monastery houses a collection of church models and maintains both Catholic and Coptic Orthodox spaces, representing an intersection of Western and Eastern Christian traditions.
