Neuenwalde Convent

The origins of the monastery date back to 1201, when its precursor was founded in Midlum. Due to conflicts with the local population, the Benedictine nuns first moved to Altenwalde in 1282 and finally to Neunwalde in 1334. Following the Reformation and the destruction of the Thirty Years' War, the monastery was rebuilt. In 1683, King Karl XI of Sweden transferred the monastery to the knighthood of the Duchy of Bremen-Verden to provide for unmarried daughters as conventuals.

Kloster Neunwalde is located in the municipality of Geestland, in the district of Neunwalde, within the Cuxhaven region in Lower Saxony. The complex is situated on the eastern edge of the village at an elevation of approximately 8 meters above sea level.

The current complex includes a two-story brick collegiate building, the oldest part of which dates to around 1631 or 1634. It is complemented by various extensions, including a two-story south wing from 1719 in half-timbered construction and a single-story shed extension from the 18th century. The Heilig-Kreuz-Kirche (Holy Cross Church) from 1334 is also part of the complex. Since 2014, parts of the buildings have been utilized by the Evangelical Education Center Bad Bederkesa.
