Kloster Böddeken \| Büren

Former monastery complex in the Valley of Peace

The former Böddeken monastery complex has a history dating back to the 9th century. In 836/837, the nobleman Meinolf founded the Böddeken Convent for Women through a donation. In 1409, the convent was converted into an Augustinian monastery.

Secularization brought an end to its use as a monastery. Böddeken initially became state property and, in 1822, passed into the possession of the Lords of Mallinckrodt, who still own the complex today.

About one kilometer to the south, the Meinolfus Chapel commemorates the namesake of the former convent. Directly adjacent to the chapel is a memorial cemetery established after World War II. More than 300 war dead from the former Büren district have found their final resting place here.
