Guided Story

Notice the stunning gothic windows in front of you? These windows have witnessed countless stories unfold. Founded in the 13th century, the monastery was once a spiritual haven for the Franciscan friars. Imagine the monks here, in silent contemplation, while the world around them changed. Today, the Klosterkirche is alive with cultural events, breathing new life into these ancient walls. To your right, the Stadtkirche Lennep stands as another testament to the area's rich religious history. And just behind you, a little to the north, the Deutsches Röntgen Museum offers a peek into a completely different but equally fascinating narrative.
