As a widow's residence, it's certainly not so bad. But as a place for training, it's certainly more sensible.

I was surprised that Herder worked here. And it is the seat of the regional church of Schaumburg-Lippe, one of the smaller regional churches.

The museum has created a rather informative exhibition, the centerpiece of which are working models, such as the one of the Obernkirchen tunnel. Be sure to take a look. The staff there are also happy to share more details about Obernkirchen's history.

The convent can look back on a 1,200-year history. Its founding around the year 820 is not precisely documented. During the Reformation, it was converted into a convent for the daughters of the Schaumburg family. From 1814 onward, anyone was again welcome to enter. The monastery is still occupied today.
