history

The 29-year-old widowed Countess Eleonora Chatharina von Hessen-Eschwege - a cousin of the Swedish Queen Christine - discovered the delightful location of the former abbess house on September 24, 1655 . Her husband Friedrich, Landgrave of Hessen-Eschwege , who had served as major general in the service of the Swedish King Gustav Adolf , received the Osterholz monastery from Queen Christine in 1649 for his services after the Peace of Westphalia and the Lilienthal monastery in 1651 . The Countess lived in the old monastery residence for 15 years, brought Swedish officials into the country to manage the monastery, had the fish pond and water features, an ornamental garden and the Butendieker woodland laid out, and finally divided the monastery state to residents willing to settle.

When she withdrew to Osterholz on January 1, 1670, where she died on March 1, 1692, her servant Conrad Demme was awarded the abbess's house free of lease for his services with a lifelong concession as a jug and inn at the Liliendahle , all other Kruger (innkeepers) had Lilienthal's to make their purchases from him. For this he had to perform “some land and dyke maintenance tasks”.

The core of the settlement is a Cistercian convent Vallis liliorum (Valley of the Lilies) at the beginning of the 13th century in Northusen. The monastery gave the later village its name.

The monastery church of St. Mary and the abbess house are still reminiscent of the former monastery area . The farm yard of the so-called Vorwerk with the abbess house was located southeast outside the walled monastery district, beyond the trench . Despite the collapse of the monastery after the Peace of Westphalia , the abbess house remained the summer residence of Countess Eleonore Chatarina von Hessen-Eschwege . From 1730, the main house with outbuildings was run as an inn by the Murken family, after whom the farm was renamed in 1965.
