Oesede Monastery

Kloster Oesede is a former Benedictine monastery in Georgsmarienhütte in the district of Osnabrück in Lower Saxony, Germany. The monastery gave its name to a district of Georgsmarienhütte; the former farming community Kloster Oesede was called "Sutorpe" before the monastery was founded. The former monastery church, now the Catholic parish church of St. Johann, is the most important architectural monument in the town of Georgsmarienhütte. A special feature of the monastery church is the medieval hagioscope, a so-called leprosy fissure. The monastery was the first women's monastery in the district of Osnabrück. It existed for 633 years until 1803.
