Gut Holthausen

The medieval layout, featuring four two-story wings and a courtyard enclosed by a cloister, has been preserved to this day. The buildings were largely redesigned in the 18th century in a simple Baroque style. Medieval architectural elements can still be found here and there in the west and north wings.

The north wing houses the abbey church with its Baroque ridge turret. Most of its furnishings come from the workshop of the Büren-based sculptor and painter Johann Heinrich Falter. These include, among other things, the high altar, statues, pews, and the gallery. In the floor, tombstones commemorate former abbesses. A wooden statue of St. Bernard of Clairvaux and a corresponding motif on the church ceiling also reflect the history of the Cistercian Order.
