Stift Steterburg, Protestant monastery in Salzgitter, Germany
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.
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.
The foundation shows traces of its Catholic roots even today, though it has been a Protestant women's community for centuries. The spaces and practices reflect this dual heritage in how people experience the place.
The site functions as a parish church for the local evangelical community with regular services throughout the year. Visitors can explore the building during open times and observe the architectural details at their own pace.
The current church was built between 1751 and 1758 by architect Anton Ulrich von Blum under commission from Duke Karl I. It replaced earlier structures that had been destroyed in previous centuries.
