Klosteranlage Clarholz

You enter the church square, which is lined with lime trees, through an archway to the right of the Rugge inn (building from 1667). This belongs to the old sexton's office. The most important secular building is Haus Samson, built in 1843 according to plans by Conrad Niermann and commissioned by the merchant Leopold Gildemeister. The stately brick building on a natural stone base has a flight of steps leading to the churchyard.

The monastery buildings are located to the south and west of the church. The plastered former convent house now serves as a parish office and community center. The provost's courtyard with the provost's building is separated from the church square by a wall. The main access to the monastery was from the north-west from the country road leading to Lette.
