Tips from the Community
Park in the town center, beautiful nature and park benches for lingering invite you. The paths are barrier-free and easy to walk. Arrival from Stade or Zeven, the parking lot is located at the Klosterpark and Museum. As well as opposite the shopping center. The museum is open from Tuesdays to Sundays 3 PM – 6 PM (from October to March 3 PM – 5 PM) On Sundays and public holidays additionally from 10 AM – 12 PM. In the 1980s, archaeologists uncovered the foundations of the former Benedictine monastery. Which from 1102 to 1647 was one of the spiritual centers of power in Northern Germany. In the Middle Ages and early modern times, there were few monasteries that were directly subordinate to the Pope. The Harsefeld monastery belonged to them. In the course of the post-monastery period, however, a large part of the monastery complex fell into disrepair.

The Harsefeld Monastery or Rosenfeld Monastery was an exempt Benedictine archabbey in the market town of Harsefeld in the district of Stade, Lower Saxony. It existed from 1104 to 1648, until the end of the Thirty Years' War. After the Reformation, the monastery was one of the last bastions of Catholicism on the Lower Elbe. A visit is both recommendable and interesting.

Historic monastery complex of Harsefeld, home to the Amtshof, the monastery church of St. Marien und Bartholomäi, the museum, and the idyllic monastery park. The history dates back to the 9th century. The Harsefeld guides offer tours in the monastery garden. The monastery park was completely redesigned in 2006 and now, in conjunction with the Amtshof, museum, and church, offers a beautiful backdrop for concerts, markets, and other events. You can enjoy and take a great walk here. The monastery park was one of the partner projects of igs 2013 in the Hamburg Metropolitan Region.
