Walkenried Abbey was a Cistercian monastery established in 1127 on the southern edge of the Harz mountains in Lower Saxony, Germany. Built in the Gothic architectural style, the abbey functioned as both a religious community and educational institution until its demolition in 1668. Today, the surviving remnants of the monastic complex stand as an architectural heritage monument and have been recognized since 2010 as part of the Upper Harz Water Regale World Heritage Site.
