Kloster Gräfrath, Augustinian monastery in Solingen, Germany.
The medieval Kloster Gräfrath complex includes residential buildings, chapels, and gardens surrounded by stone walls near the center of Solingen.
Founded before 1209 as a Benedictine nunnery, the monastery transformed into a Lutheran foundation for aristocratic women during the Reformation period.
The monastery archives preserve documents and artifacts that detail centuries of religious life and social developments in North Rhine-Westphalia.
Visitors can join guided tours of the monastery grounds, which explain the architectural features and daily activities of the religious community.
The monastery survived both the Protestant Reformation and Napoleonic secularization, maintaining its original function while other religious houses closed.
