Aegidienkloster, Romanesque church complex in Brunswick, Germany
The Saint Giles Abbey includes a church, monastery buildings, and cloisters constructed with regional limestone in the medieval architectural style.
Duke Henry the Lion established the monastery in the late 12th century, which underwent transformation from Catholic to Lutheran following the Protestant Reformation.
The church preserves a wooden crucifix from the 12th century created by Master Imervard, representing medieval German religious craftsmanship.
The monastery buildings now function as exhibition spaces, displaying regional historical artifacts and hosting cultural events throughout the year.
In 1457, Abbot Berthold Meier created the first known map of Brunswick while documenting the abbey's history and legends.
