Kyritz Monastery

Heiligengrabe Abbey is a former Cistercian abbey which was founded at the end of the 13th century. The first buildings to be constructed were the abbey church and the eastern wing of the cloister; the latter contains the chapter house on the ground floor and the sisters' dormitory on the ground floor. The other two wings are from slightly later periods. In 1510, the cloister was vaulted; the chapter house was moved to the west wing. When the Reformation was adopted, the monastery went through a period of conflict; finally, in 1549, the entire community was transferred to the Lutheran church.

The monastery of Lindow was founded around 1230 as a Cistercian convent. At the beginning of the 16th century it was one of the richest monasteries of the March, so much so that the Reformation movement did not interrupt its operation, but turned it into a Protestant convent for ladies. During the Thirty Years' War (1638), the monastery complex was destroyed by imperial troops. The building of the former monastery school dating from the 15th century is still well preserved, as is the former wash-house. The former monastery is surrounded by a park, which is now used as a multi-religious project where plants have been chosen as a connecting element between religions.

The church of St. Mary was first mentioned in 1283 as a Romanesque basilica. At the end of the 14th century, the building was given two towers and from 1420 onwards, a church with three Gothic naves was built in its place. The church has an interesting astronomical clock that was created in the 16th century and has only been functional since 1977.
