Benediktiner-Doppelkloster Marienthal, Medieval monastery in Norden, Germany

Located in Ostfriesland, this monastery complex consisted of separate living quarters for both monks and nuns under the Benedictine order.

Founded before 1255, the monastery functioned until 1529 when religious reforms led to its dissolution during the Protestant Reformation period.

The monastery served as the family cloister for the Cirksena noble family between 1464 and 1548, serving as their burial location.

The original monastery site now contains a retirement home operated by Arbeiterwohlfahrt, with coordinates at 53.5994 latitude and 7.20205 longitude.

The monastery's choir stalls, crafted in 1481, remain preserved and can be viewed in the Ludgeri Church of Norden.
