Stift Steterburg, Protestant monastery in Salzgitter, Germany
Description
Stift Steterburg is a monastery complex with a Baroque church in Salzgitter. The church features Corinthian wooden columns and a two-story walkway enhanced by projecting sections at its center.
History
The complex was founded around 1000 by Frederunda von Oelsburg and received protection from Otto III. In the 12th century it became a convent for Augustinian canonesses.
