Liesborn Abbey
In the heart of the village of Liesborn in the municipality of Wadersloh, nestled against the mighty Romanesque tower of the parish church of Ss. Cosmas and Damian, lies the time-honoured Liesborn Abbey. Probably founded around 815 as a convent for ladies, it once developed into one of the most important monasteries in the diocese of Münster.
From a convent to a Benedictine abbey
In 1131, the women's convent was dissolved and transferred to the monks of the Benedictine Order. In the 15th century, under Abbot Heinrich von Kleve, the monastery experienced an artistic and spiritual heyday with the Liesborn School of Painting, which produced works of art of international renown. The "Baroque Blossom" began with Abbot Gregor Waldmann: The impressive representative building dates from this time. In the course of secularisation, the abbey was dissolved in 1803. In the following decades, the art treasures were scattered to the four winds and many parts of the building were demolished: Of the once stately monastery ensemble with enclosure and farmyard as well as numerous fruit, herb and flower gardens, only the church, the three-winged abbot's and representative building built in the Baroque period and the coach house remain today.

Liesborn Abbey Museum
Since 1966, the former monastery has been home to a more wonderful place for culture and encounters: the still quite young, lively Museum Abtei Liesborn. With its impressive collection of art and cultural history, it is one of the most important museums in Westphalia. Throughout the year, exhibitions, concerts, lectures, museum festivals, markets, guided tours and educational programmes take place here.

Liesborn's "Wild Men© Münsterland e.V.
Did you know that Liesborn Abbey Museum has probably the most unusual alarm system in the whole of Münsterland? When you enter the south wing of the baroque residence, you come to the abbot's former chambers. The builder in the Baroque heyday was called Abbot Gregor Waltmann - the "Wild Man" can be found on his family coat of arms as an allusion to his name. To protect his private chambers from unauthorised intruders, he placed wooden guards on the stairs. Where the first wild man still looks almost friendly, the second already raises his cudgel threateningly. A visit to the eerily beautiful carving is an absolute must!
