The Oelinghausen Monastery, situated in Arnsberg, Germany, has a rich history dating back to around 1174. Initially, it was established as a double monastery, which means it housed both monks and nuns. However, it later evolved into a Premonstratensian monastery, a religious order known for its commitment to community living, self-sufficiency, and hospitality.
Since 1992, the convent buildings of Oelinghausen Monastery have been home to the Sisters of Saint Mary Magdalene Postel. In addition to this, a cloister museum has been established within the monastery grounds. This museum offers visitors a unique opportunity to explore the history and culture of the monastery and its inhabitants over the centuries.
The abbey church of Oelinghausen Monastery, dedicated to Saint Peter and Saint Mary, is a significant architectural feature of the site. Primarily Gothic in style, the church dates back to the 14th century. Its historical and architectural significance, along with its religious importance, make it a key point of interest for visitors to the monastery.
