Kloster Kamp in Kamp-Lintfort, Germany
Built around 1150, Kamp Monastery was the first Cistercian monastery in German territory. Over its hundreds of years, the monastery has been destroyed multiple times. Wars, fires, and in 1504, a strong earthquake all decimated the buildings. Despite all these hardships, the monastery was always rebuilt. By 1807, the monastery was no longer in use for religious purposes. The properties were auctioned off and most of the buildings were demolished or rebuilt. The lands passed to the peasants. Today, only the abbey church and two other buildings of the former monastery remain. The monastery gardens were rebuilt from 1980 to 1991, recreated from a copper engraving dating back to the middle of the 18th century.
