Kloster Gerode

Kloster Gerode is a Benedictine monastery in the Eichsfeld region of Thuringia, featuring a church, cloister buildings, and former convent structures arranged across an extensive area. The complex consists of several historical buildings grouped around central courtyards with surrounding gardens and green spaces that give the site its distinctive character.

The monastery was founded around 1100 by Count Widelo and his son Rudiger, who received substantial land grants that ensured its early prosperity. Over the centuries it played an important role in the religious life of the Eichsfeld region.

The monastery functions today as a meeting place where the Weg der Mitte community runs courses and seminars for visitors seeking spiritual growth. The site remains an active center where people gather to learn and spend time in a supportive environment.

The monastery is located about one kilometer south of Weißenborn-Lüderode and is easily reached by car from the surrounding area. The site offers accommodation rooms and conference spaces for visitors planning a longer stay.

The grounds contain an exceptional collection of different tree species that offer interest throughout the year. The woodlands and gardens connect to several hiking trails that lead into the surrounding countryside.
