Kloster Götschendorf, Russian Orthodox monastery in Milmersdorf, Germany.
Kloster Götschendorf is a Russian Orthodox monastery situated on a four-hectare property in Götschendorf village. The complex includes a church with distinctive Russian architectural style, residential buildings for monks, and accommodations for guests.
The site began as a manor owned by the von Arnim family until 1910, when Prince Leopold zur Lippe-Detmold acquired it and initiated changes. Its transformation into an Orthodox monastery came later, establishing a new purpose for the estate.
The community observes Orthodox Christian traditions through daily prayers and religious services that shape life on the grounds. Visitors can witness how these practices structure the rhythm of daily activities for the monks living here.
The monastery is accessible at Götschendorf 33 in Milmersdorf. Contacting ahead is advisable to confirm visiting hours and any requirements for guests.
A memorial cross on the grounds was consecrated in 2015 to honor historical events from the 20th century. This commemorative site offers a place for reflection alongside the monastic life.
