Prämonstratenserstift Heiligenberg, Medieval monastery in Bruchhausen-Vilsen, Germany
The Prämonstratenserstift Heiligenberg stands on a hill surrounded by three stream valleys, featuring an 8-meter-high circular wall encompassing 3.5 hectares.
Founded in 1212, the Premonstratensian monastery received protection from Bishop Adolf of Osnabrück and operated until its dissolution in 1543.
Archaeological excavations in 2018 and 2019 uncovered masonry, roof tiles, glass, and porcelain fragments that document the daily life of the canons.
The monastery grounds now serve as a recreational area with four circular hiking trails totaling 7.5 kilometers through hills and valleys.
Before becoming a monastery, the site contained one of the largest fortified structures in Lower Saxony, dating from the 9th to 12th centuries.
