This is a list of Christian religious houses, both for men and for women, whether or not still in operation, in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. Most religious houses survived the Reformation, although many nunneries did so by becoming Lutheran collegiate foundations for women of the aristocracy (''Damenstifte''). The great majority were closed however during the secularisation of the Napoleonic period, with the exception of the hospital orders, such as the Alexians and their female equivalents, the Cellite Sisters, the number of whose houses is a notable feature of the ''Land''. Also noteworthy are the small communities of local origin, such as the Olpe Sisters and the Schervier Sisters. Extant religious houses are indicated by bold type. __NOTOC__ ==A== * Aachen: * * Aachen Priory: Dominicans 1293–1802; Sisters of the Poor Child Jesus 1842–today * * Alexian Hospital, Aachen (with St. Alexius' Church) (''Alexianer Krankenhaus Aachen'' and ''Alexiuskirche Aachen''): Alexians 1334–today 〔(the mother house of the modern Alexian brothers worldwide )〕 * * Christenserine motherhouse (14th century – 1973; moved to the Haus Maria im Venn, Stolberg)〔severely damaged by bombing in World War II, with many deaths〕 * * Convent of the Poor Sisters of Saint Francis, Aachen: Poor Sisters of Saint Francis, also known as the Schervier Sisters, 1852–today * * St. Anne's Abbey or Priory, Aachen, now St. Anne's Church, Aachen (''Kloster St. Joachim und Anna'', now the ''Annakirche''): Benedictine nuns 1511–1794 * * ''St. Jöris' Abbey, see St. Jöris'' * Abdinghof Abbey or Priory (''Abdinghofkloster''), Paderborn: Benedictine monks 1015–1803 * Altenberg Abbey (''Abtei Altenberg''), Altenberg: Cistercian monks 1133–1803 * Arnsberg: * * Jesuit Mission, Arnsberg (''Jesuitenmission Arnsberg'') 1651–1773 *Attendorn: * * Attendorn Friary (''Franziskanerkloster Attendorn''): Franciscan friars 1636–1803 * *''Ewig Priory, Attendorn, see Ewig'' * *''Waldenburg Commandery, Attendorn, see Waldenburg'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of Christian religious houses in North Rhine-Westphalia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
