Kloster Eppinghoven, Cistercian monastery in Neuss, Germany.

The Eppinghoven Monastery complex features a two-story brick east wing with a gabled roof and a baroque dovecote constructed in 1710.

Founded in 1214 as Kloster Mariensaal, the monastery moved to Eppinghoven in 1231 following a donation from a Neuss couple, Sibert and Gisela.

The monastery transformed from a Cistercian abbey to a noble ladies' convent in 1650, reflecting social changes in religious institutions.

Two original side wings of the monastery's altar from 1490 are currently displayed at the Clemens-Sels-Museum in Neuss.

During the war period, the monastery premises served as a hospital facility accommodating 700 patients before returning to religious use in 1795.
