Magdeburg: Monastery of Our Lady (Unser Lieben Frauen)
. . . THIS MAY TAKE A MOMENT OR TWO . . .
Here is the "sigillum" or Seal of the Monastery, showing the Virgin and Christ Child at center. | |
This is The Monastery of Our Lady, in Magdeburg, the original resting place of our founder, St. Norbert. It is now a museum and concert hall. |

Here is a much more colorful view of the interior, cloister garden perspective. |
