Facts and practical information

The monastery church of St. John the Baptist is the church of the former monastery of Oldenstadt. Oldenstadt forms the nucleus of the Hanseatic town of Uelzen and is now part of the urban area.

The church is the remaining remnant of a Benedictine monastery, which was built in the 12th century on the site of a former canoness monastery from the 10th century. The canoness monastery had been founded in 966 or 973 by Bishop Bruno I of Verden on the Ullishusen estate, church patron saints St. Mary and John the Baptist. The monastery was conveniently located on the long-distance road between Goslar/Braunschweig and Lüneburg. In addition, the crossing over the Wipperau River was in the immediate vicinity.
