Lindisfarne Priory

Lindisfarne Priory

Holy Island, GB

Follow in the footsteps of the ancient monks who built their priory here nearly 1,400 years ago, and explore the wild coastal beauty of Holy Island. The extensive ruins visible today are dominated by the 12th century priory church, which probably stands on the same spot as its Anglo Saxon predecessor. The associated monastic buildings were modified in the later Middle Ages in response to the changing needs and numbers of the monks.

Lindow Monastery

Lindow Monastery

Lindow (Mark), DE

The monastery of Lindow was founded around 1230 as a Cistercian convent. At the beginning of the 16th century it was one of the richest monasteries of the March, so much so that the Reformation movement did not interrupt its operation, but turned it into a Protestant convent for ladies. During the Thirty Years' War (1638), the monastery complex was destroyed by imperial troops. The building of the former monastery school dating from the 15th century is still well preserved, as is the former wash-house. The former monastery is surrounded by a park, which is now used as a multi-religious project where plants have been chosen as a connecting element between religions.
