Attendorn Correctional Facility

The Attendorn Correctional Facility was built in 1968 on parts of the grounds of the Ewig Monastery near Attendorn in the Sauerland region of North Rhine-Westphalia. In the Attendorn prison, prison sentences are carried out on men in open and closed prisons.

In 1967, the buildings of the Ewig Monastery became the property of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia, which set up the state's first open prison there in 1968. From 1978 to 1988, today's prison was built in various construction phases, which was officially handed over to the Attendorn prison with a ceremony on 25 November 1988.
