Nütschau Priory, Nütschau, Germany

Nütschau Priory is a Benedictine house located in the former Nütschau manor house. The manor was built in 1577-1579 by Heinrich Rantzau, this community originated after World War II as a refuge for displaced persons, particularly Catholics from the former German territories.

The church acquired the site in 1951 and at the request of Hermann Wilhelm Berning, the Bishop of Osnabrück, it was developed by and staffed from Gerleve Abbey. St. Ansgar's House opened in 1951. In 1955 the community was raised to the status of a priory under Gerleve, and in 1975 Nütschau became an independent monastery, which now includes a training house and a youth house.

A place of peace, contemplation and relaxation. I enjoy taking part in the monks' regular prayer times in the beautiful, modern monastery church. The excellent cuisine, the Benedictine hospitality of the brothers and the wonderful nature around the monastery give body and soul new strength. My favorite monastery! 5 stars ? ? ? ? ?

A beautiful place to pray, walk, meet people, get close to God and relax. Every visit is worth it, regardless of whether it's short devotions, youth trips, meals together or the great opportunities to sing, pray and talk.

Place of inner contemplation and peace. There is individual support there in all life questions. There are rooms with a very pleasant atmosphere for conferences.

A place of silence and reflection. I registered as an individual for the silent area. My room was very well equipped with a view and door onto a seating area in the countryside. The time just flew by. I read a lot and wrote a lot down. Although I am not Catholic, the unusual ceremony of devotions gave me support and security. I also visited the beautiful chapel between prayers... this warm light did me a lot of good, I felt 'safe'! In addition, the food was incredibly good. A cheerful kitchen team spoiled us guests. I would like to capture this positive experience with further visits!

Rosenborg Castle

Rosenborg Palace was built in the period 1606-34 as Christian IV’s summerhouse just outside the ramparts of Copenhagen. Christian IV was very fond of the palace and often stayed at the castle when he resided in Copenhagen, and it was here that he died in 1648. After his death, the palace passed to his son King Frederik III, who together with his queen, Sophie Amalie, carried out several types of modernisation.

The last king who used the place as a residence was Frederik IV, and around 1720, Rosenborg was abandoned in favor of Frederiksborg Palace.Through the 1700s, considerable art treasures were collected at Rosenborg Castle, among other things items from the estates of deceased royalty and from Christiansborg after the fire there in 1794.

Soon the idea of a museum arose, and that was realised in 1833, which is The Royal Danish Collection’s official year of establishment.
