Kloster Harsefeld, Benedictine monastery in Harsefeld, Germany

The monastery complex features stone foundations, wooden bridges, and green spaces along the Rellerbach stream in Lower Saxony.

Founded in 997, the monastery transformed from a collegiate institution to a Benedictine abbey in 1104 and remained active until 1648.

The monastery grounds host classical music performances, seasonal markets, and outdoor exhibitions that detail the medieval religious practices.

Information boards throughout the park guide visitors through walking paths and cycling routes that connect different sections of the former monastery.

Archaeological excavations between 1981 and 1984 revealed graves in the western cloister with evidence of medieval anti-undead practices.
