Klarissenkloster Clarenberg bei Hörde, Medieval monastery in Hörde district, Dortmund, Germany
The Clarenberg monastery complex includes substantial stone structures arranged around a central courtyard with a dedicated prayer area for religious services.
Founded in 1339 by Count Konrad von der Mark and Elisabeth von Kleve, the monastery housed 40 nuns until Napoleon ordered its closure in 1812.
The monastery contributed to educational development through its school, first documented in 1558, establishing a tradition that continues in the area today.
The monastery grounds later became the site of the Hörder Stifts brewery, established in 1867, marking a transformation from religious to industrial use.
The monastery evolved into a tri-denominational institution after the Reformation, allowing women from different Christian faiths to join the community.
