Varlar Abbey, Premonstratensian monastery in Rosendahl, Germany
The monastery complex consists of multiple stone buildings arranged around a central courtyard, featuring traditional Germanic architectural elements from different periods.
Founded in 1123, Varlar Abbey maintained its original function as a religious institution through centuries of changes in German society and governance.
The abbey maintains a collection of religious manuscripts and artifacts that document the development of monastic traditions in North Rhine-Westphalia.
Visitors can reach the abbey by taking regional bus services from Münster to Rosendahl, with guided tours available during specified hours.
The abbey grounds contain a granite stone weighing 30 tons, known as Holtwicker Ei, which dates back approximately 200,000 years.
