| St.Michael originally
was the result of a monastery´s
founding. Bernward built the Benedictine
monastery on a hill to the north of
the Cathedral.
The foundation of the monastery was
linked to an older church building
– the cross chapel – which
Bernward had chosen in 996 to hold
a relic of the Holy Cross.
Even this newly founded monastery
already had a cloister. It was renewed
in 1250.
From the entire structure, only the
west wing is preserved. The chapterhall
was originally located next to it.
The portal, which led to the hall,
is preserved.
