🚲🍴✨ The Gasthaus Zur Alten Post in Schale is a true stalwart of Westphalian hospitality and the convivial center of the idyllic Hopsten district. Located in the immediate vicinity of the historic Schale monastery church, this establishment breathes history and invites you for a cozy stopover.

Founded in 1278, the building has survived the turbulent history of the Reformation and numerous wars. Inside, stone witnesses from the founding period still tell of the centuries-long prayer tradition at this place. 📜🧱

🚲⛪✨ The Klosterkirche Schale is an impressive testament to medieval architecture and the spiritual heart of Hopsten's Schale district. As a former Cistercian convent church from the 13th century, it radiates a simple grandeur that immediately captivates visitors.

We've often taken a break with our cycling group here at the large meadow. It's actually well maintained, and all hikers and cyclists should contribute to that in the future. 😊

In 1278, the brothers Johannes and Lambertus founded the Cistercian monastery in Schale and endowed it with several possessions. The foundation was confirmed by a charter from the Osnabrück bishop Konrad II of Rietberg dated October 21, 1278. The convent originated from the Börstel monastery. The monastery was called ad Scalam dei (=to the ladder of God, to the ladder to heaven), which is why a ladder is depicted in the Schal coat of arms.
