Elsey Abbey

Local nameehem. Stiftskurie
LocationHagen, Germany

Elsey Abbey, earlier Elsey Priory is a former women's religious house located near Elsey, now part of Hohenlimburg, Hagen, Germany.

It was founded in about 1220 by Friedrich von Isenberg for Premonstratensian canonesses and endowed with the local parish church and other possessions. In the 15th century it became a house of secular canonesses of the nobility under an abbess. In the 16th century during the Reformation the parish became Protestant and the abbey followed suit in due course.

It was dissolved in 1810 during the secularisation of the period.
