Oelinghausen Monastery Garden Museum

The monastery garden at Oelinghausen Monastery spreads its very own magic in the cold winter months. When the frosty silence settles over the estate, delicately covered espaliered fruit trees and discreetly sprouting medicinal herbs transform the garden into a fascinating winter work of art. The orderly structures of the beds invite you to go on a discovery tour in the quiet season and enjoy the winter tranquillity.

Although winter might strip the garden of its summer colors, a visit in the colder months reveals a serene beauty that offers its own silent storytelling. As frost crystallizes the edges of plants and the breath of the visitor mingles with the cold air, the historical essence of the garden seems to whisper tales from bygone eras.

The permafrost lends the garden paths a very special atmosphere and invites you on a journey of discovery, where the sensory impressions appear more subtle and intense. Every successful bend in the gentle garden path reveals the rich historical substance of the former monastery grounds, which speak their very own story.

Even in the coldest winter months, the monastery garden offers an opportunity for quiet exploration and inner contemplation. A trip here at this quiet time of year is perfect for a leisurely stroll and is particularly appealing to those who appreciate the subtle beauty of seclusion. This makes a visit to the monastery garden at Oelinghausen Monastery in winter a contemplative experience far away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
