In 2010, the non-denominational monastery Gut Saunstorf near the Hanseatic City of Wismar opened its doors.
Public Lecture
In 2010, the interdenominational Gut Saunstorf monastery near the Hanseatic City of Wismar opened its doors. The ruins of the former manor house were painstakingly restored to become a dignified and historically protected site. This evening, we invite you to gain insight into this place—with photos and background information. We’ll gather for this event at our new Café & Deli in Saunstorf.
We will explore the following questions:
• What is a modern monastery?
• What is the history of this place?
• How did the monastery come to be?
• How is the monastery managed?
• Who lives in the monastery?
• What can I learn here?
Speaker
Muni Konradi, who has lived here for over 20 years, will give a talk accompanied by photos depicting the history and present-day atmosphere of this place of tranquility. Afterward, there will be time for questions and discussion.
