Brilliant preserved Abbey near the village of Marienmünster, halfway between Detmold and Höxter. It's conveniently next to a good road and has good parking or bus facilities as well as well maintained hiking trails, one of which leads to a nice viewing tower a few Kilometres walk away. The Abbey itself is a collection of buildings around the main Church. The buildings have been preserved for the most part, with some modernised (the concert hall being the most prominent) but the aura has been kept and it remains picturesque. There is a small garden area that visitors can walk through and a bee keeping area. There's a restaurant occupying one of the old buildings with a beer garden that seemed reasonable, although I've never had anything there. It's possible to spend an hour or two taking in the atmosphere and walking through. When I visited we had the entire place to ourselves, but even in the summer not many tourists visit, making it a great place to spend some time away from crowds. I'd absolutely recommend visiting this delightful abbey for a pleasant, calming day.

The abbey church of st Marienmünster is from the outside a Romanesque building. The interior is baroque. Around the church there are a garden and several buildings. Parking is easy. There are clean toilets. Take a walk on the premises and also take a look at and when open in the Besucherszentrum Forum Abtei. Peaceful and pretty.

Die Abteikirche Marienmünster ist ein Prunkstück einer Kirche mit der Johannes patroclus-möller-orgel auf jeden Fall einen Besuch wert. Man kann es super kombinieren mit einem Spaziergang auf dem Holzweg um die Abtei oder auch mit einem Aufstieg auf den Hungerbergturm. Ein behindertengerechter Eingang befindet sich ebenfalls In der Kirche ist aber etwas versteckt unten am Am Seiteneingang vor dem man direkt parken kann. Es lohnt sich auch die Angebote der Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde anzuschauen da dort viele tolle Programmpunkte in und um die Abtei stattfinden.

Hier findet sich eine sehr hübsch gelegene, im 12. Jahrhundert in romanischer Bauweise erichtete und nach dem 30jährigen Krieg im "Weserbarock"-Stil mit einer Kuppel ergänzte Kirche eines ehemaligen Benediktinerklosters. Die Kirche besitzt eine sehr schöne Orgel und ein Bild Marias, das noch immer von Wallfahrenden zur Anbetung besucht wird.

Größte Besonderheit ist jedoch eine Fledermauskolonie unter dem Kirchendach - in der Abenddämmerung kann man mit etwas Glück Große Mausohren beim Schwärmen beobachten.

Die säkularisierten Klosteranlagen ringsumher dienen zum Teil der Landwirtschaft, zum Teil kulturellen Zwecken: Ein kleiner Konzertsaal ist dort zu finden, ein Theatersaal und eine z.B. für Feste mietbare Diele in einer ehemaligen Scheune. Wir konnten an einem Sonntag im Mai den Absolventen der örtlichen Musikschule beim Singen und Gitarre-, Klarinette- und Klavierspiel zuhören.

Um das gesamte Gelände führt eine Art Lehrpfad mit etlichen Stationen im Klostergarten; hier geht man auf einem Holzsteg durch die manchmal versumpfte Landschaft. Den hübschesten Blick auf die Kirche hat man vom großen Teich hinter dem Kloster aus.

Zum Spazierengehen eignet sich der benachbarte Hungerberg, dessen alte preußische Sichttelegrafenstation heute als Aussichtsturm fungiert. Hinauf führt aus dem Stadtteil Vorde ein "Leidensweg Christi" mit 13 Stationen, deren letzte neben einer Kapelle auf dem Hungerberg stehen. Dort kommt man nach reichlich steilem Aufstieg an, so dass man dort seinen persönlichen Büßerpfad "genießen" kann.

In der großen Gastwirtschaft "Klosterkrug" gibt es zwar einen wunderschönen Kaffeegarten, aber ab 15 Uhr nachmittags keine herzhaften...

St. Jacob's Abbey Church of Marienmünster used to be a vital centers in the early Middle Ages. Its mission: to christianize pagan Saxony. Once defeated the Saxonians a thousand years ago, Emperor Charlemagne laid the foundations for future Christiandom in the new provinces by a great number of monasteries such as Corvey, Bursfelde, or Marienmunster. That splendid abbey even went all tribulations of the Thirty Years' War on...
