On my bike tour on the R1 through the middle of Germany, I stayed at the Hedersleben monastery. I can highly recommend that to everyone.

The plastered hall church was built in 1713/1714 from rubble stones. Previously, the Catholic and Protestant communities had used the church of the Hedersleben monastery, which was a little further to the west, although not without tension. Source: Wikipedia
