We would like to thank the Plattdüütskbüro of the Ostfriesische Landschaft for the permission to use it.

The monastery café

In the monastery café, walkers, visitors to the monastery, families and groups will find a beautifully situated place in the Ihlow forest for a break.

Use the opportunity for a leisurely hour with a cup of East Frisian tea and a piece of the by now legendary home-baked cakes or pies in a cosy atmosphere.

The monastery shop

A lovely monastery shop was set up in the historic forester's house with great dedication and attention to detail. Furnished with cupboards and shelves from an old pharmacy, it offers - in addition to initial information about the monastery - monastic products and handicrafts from the region.

From Tuesday to Saturday from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. you can browse to your heart's content. The corona-related opening times can be found on this website under "Aktuelles".

The monastery garden

The current monastery garden at the monastery site was laid out in 1987. However, it was soon forgotten.

In 2001 some members of the monastery association partnered with colleagues from the Hermann-Tempel comprehensive School and founded the group of "monastery garden women" to bring the monastery garden to its full bloom again.
