Kloster Neuwerk

As you stand here, you’re facing the remarkable Neuwerk Monastery Church, a gem of Romanesque architecture. Notice the robust walls and the clear lines, characteristic of this style. This church is the second oldest building in Mönchengladbach and was originally a Benedictine nunnery. Today, it serves as the convent church for the Sisters of the Salvatorians. If you look southeast, you can see the church in all its glory, and further east is the Priorhaus. These structures are a testament to a time when monastic life was central to this area. Take a moment to appreciate the peace and historical significance of this place.
