Mennokate, Heritage monument in Bad Oldesloe, Germany.

The white-plastered building constructed with fieldstones and old-format bricks stands as a preserved example of 16th-century Germanic architecture.

The Mennokate building originally housed a printing press where Menno Simons, founder of the Mennonite movement, produced religious texts during the 1500s.

The museum within Mennokate displays writings, documents, and maps illustrating the life and influence of Mennonites in Northern Germany.

While the exterior areas and memorial stone remain accessible at all times, visitors need to schedule appointments to enter the museum rooms.

A lime tree planted by Menno Simons and a beech tree symbolizing reconciliation between Mennonites and Lutherans frame the historical structure.
