Yesse Monastery was a Cistercian monastery in the hamlet of Essen, municipality of Groningen , province of Groningen , southeast of the city of Groningen.

The name of the monastery is derived from Jesse (Yesse or Isai ), the father of the biblical King David .

According to the chronicle of the Aduard Monastery (approx. 1485) and according to Ubbo Emmius (approx. 1600), it was donated in 1215 or 1216. The monastery was directly subordinate to the mother monastery Clairvaux . It existed until it was repealed in the Reformation in 1594. Around 1890 the last remains of the monastery were cleared away. In 2006 a visitor center was set up on the previous site.
