In the small town of Wienhausen there is an abbey (monastery) founded in 1230 by Agnes von Landsberg, daughter-in-law of Henry the Lion, Duke of Saxony and Bavaria. The abbey owns significant artworks and artifacts, including a collection of tapestries and the earliest surviving example of eyeglasses.
Come in the fall, it's the best time to visit.
