Historical backdrop with special charm

The Riddagshausen Monastery Church is one of the most distinctive church buildings in the city of Braunschweig. The former Cistercian monastery has shaped the area for centuries; the church was consecrated in 1275 and remains an Evangelical Lutheran parish church today. This mix of history, architecture, and silent expanse makes the ambiance for a summer afternoon like this particularly impressive.

Music, encounters, and meditative dance

The focus is on an invitation to pause: Coffee and cake, music, and meditative dancing create an open format that emphasizes closeness, exchange, and atmosphere. With the trombone choir of the Braunschweig Probstschaft and texts by Georg Renz, the afternoon gains a clear thematic direction while also allowing plenty of room for emotional moments.

A place that connects culture and nature

Riddagshausen is much more than a historical address. The ensemble of monastery, village, and nature reserve is considered a popular destination for those seeking relaxation and walkers. Those who come to the Monastery Summer will therefore not only experience the event itself but also the special connection of cultural space, nature, and silent expanse around the pond landscape.
