Kloster Brunshausen

The former Benedictine monastery features a church, museum exhibits, and baroque summer residence buildings spread across multiple structures within the complex.

Founded in the 9th century by the Liudolfing family, the monastery served as temporary housing for the Gandersheim Abbey community until their permanent buildings were completed.

The exhibition 'Strong Women - Fine Stitches' displays textile collections from the Early Middle Ages through the Baroque period in the monastery church.

The museum offers guided tours every Saturday at 14:00, with admission and tour prices set at 7.50 euros per person.

During World War II, the monastery complex transformed into a subcamp of Buchenwald concentration camp, adding a dark chapter to its religious history.
