Oelinghausen Monastery
Oelinghausen Monastery, located in the Holzen district of Arnsberg, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, was founded around 1174 as a double monastery before transitioning into a Premonstratensian nunnery. In the 17th century, it was converted into a secular canoness foundation, but later reverted to the Premonstratensian order. The monastery was dissolved during the secularization of 1804. The monastery church, dedicated to Saint Peter and the Virgin Mary, has served as a parish church since the dissolution. Predominantly Gothic in style, the church dates primarily to the 14th century, with its interior uniformly redesigned in the Baroque style during the 18th century. Notable features include the Kölsche Madonna, a statue from the early 13th century, and an organ with components from the 16th century. Since 1992, the restored monastery buildings have been home to the Sisters of Saint Mary Magdalene Postel. A monastery garden museum has been established in recent years. The monastery and its associated estate are situated in a largely agricultural and forested area, distant from the nearest settlements of Herdringen and Holzen, within the Oelinghausen Landscape Protection Area.
