New Abbey Wolmirstedt

The origins of the New Abbey Wolmirstedt date back to 1225, when a monastery was founded here. It was dedicated to Saints Catherine and Pancras and was inhabited by Cistercian nuns. From 1577, the institution transformed into an evangelical convent for noblewomen. The current main building, a late Baroque structure, was built in 1732 with a north and south wing connected by a central pavilion and crowned by high mansard roofs. The monastery was dissolved in 1810. Subsequently, the property served as a manor house for the collegiate estate until 1945.

The former New Abbey Wolmirstedt is located in the town of Wolmirstedt, which lies in the Börde region of Saxony-Anhalt. The complex is situated at an elevation of approximately 54 meters above sea level.

After being used as a manor house and undergoing extensive remodeling in the 1960s, which transformed it into a school, the building stood vacant for a considerable period. Since 2017, the former monastery has undergone extensive renovation and has been converted into apartments. To the west of the New Abbey stands St. Catherine's Church.
