Store description excerpt
The app Travel through space and time takes visitors on an entertaining tour through the history of the former Cistercian monastery Gravenhorst in Hörstel, Steinfurt district in North Rhine-Westphalia. Today the DA, Kunsthaus Kloster Gravenhorst is located in the former monastery complex. The place has a distinctive history dating back to the 13th century. The App Travel through space and time reconstructs the various construction phases of the monastery development. It leads from the beginnings of the monastery history, when noble daughters decided to lead a godly life in Gravenhorst, to the post-monastery period, when a start-up settled to build the first steam engine in Westphalia. She virtually brings back everyday objects found during archaeological digs on site and explains why a school was established in the monastery. It brings life back to life in the time of the monastery and in the times after and sharpens the awareness of the evolution of architecture and landscape. In 18 stations, the app takes you through space and time interactively through the outdoor area and through the interior. The path can be chosen freely. Each station tells a self-contained story. An audio clip or film introduces the respective topic, followed by in-depth multimedia levels with 3D reconstructions, sightseeing flights, films, images, sources and texts. The story can be experienced particularly well on site, but the app also makes a virtual visit from home or on the go possible. The app is available in German, English, Dutch and in easy language. 1.

Nonnenpattken Gravenhorst Abbey was founded in 1256 by the knight Konrad von Brochterbeck and his wife Amalgardis von Budde as a Cistercian monastery. Their daughter Oda became the first abbess. With the monastery, the founding family created a place of remembrance. The monastery grew larger and more beautiful from devastation and fires. During the Thirty Years' War, the abbess Maria Grothaus zu Grone rebuilt it as a manifestation of Catholicism. The Renaissance gable on the south wing is architectural evidence of the 17th century renovation of the monastery. At the beginning of the 18th century, Gravenhorst was rebuilt in the style of baroque palace architecture. In 1808, in the course of secularization, it was dissolved, and the last Cistercians left Gravenhorst in the spring of 1811. The monastery church was converted into a parish church, and the facility was leased out as a farm. Two "entrepreneurs", Andreas Uthoff and Franz Anton Egells, built a steam engine in the Gravenhorst monastery at the beginning of the 19th century. In 1819 the
