Kloster Blankenburg, Dominican monastery in Oldenburg, Germany
The Blankenburg monastery complex spans across 20 hectares near the Hunte River, featuring a protected main building from 1294 and a brewhouse from 1623.
Five noble individuals from Bremen purchased land from Count Johann II of Oldenburg in 1294 to establish a monastery for nuns of the Augustine and Dominican orders.
The monastery church holds significant artifacts, including a winged altar from 1520-1530 now displayed at the Oldenburg City Museum.
Since 2015, the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees operates the monastery as a reception center accommodating up to 600 individuals.
The name Blankenburg first appeared in the consecration document and may originate from a nun named Blanca who lived in the community.
