Kentrop House
Haus Kentrop is a manor house in Hamm , which was built in place of the Marienhof Cistercian monastery which was secularized at the beginning of the 19th century .
Marienhof Monastery
The Cistercian convent Marienhof ( Curia beatae Marie ), founded in Hamm before 1272, was relocated to the Kentrop farm on March 11, 1296. The monastery was founded as a branch of the Fröndenberg monastery and was subordinate to the Cistercian Abbey of Altenberg . The farm was given to the monastery by Count Everhard von der Mark , son of the founder, in 1290. In 1293 the construction of a church on the site could begin, in 1296 the resettlement took place. Because of the exemplary discipline in Kentrop, some nuns were transferred to the convent in Benninghausen in 1477 to reform it.
In a witch trial around 1565, cook Elsa from Kamen fell victim to the witch hunt .
With the secularization of 1808, the old buildings lost their importance and were later demolished, so that today only a plan from 1809 gives information about their arrangement and appearance.
