Church of St. Nicholas, Jüterbog

The former Cistercian monastery of Zinna was founded in 1170 by the Archbishop of Magdeburg. The oldest building in the complex is the late Romanesque fieldstone church, which was begun in the 12th century. In 1553, the last abbot left the monastery. The enclosure was largely demolished in the 18th century and the monastery area to the south was covered with modern buildings. In 1492, the first printed book in the area, a Marian psalm, was created in the monastery.

The castle church, also known as the Church of the Reformation, is a Protestant church that is considered the starting point of the Reformation, after Martin Luther posted his 95 theses there on October 31, 1517. From 1490 to 1515, Frederick the Wise had his entire palace rebuilt. In 1496, the castle church was added as the north wing and consecrated in 1503. Since 1996, this church has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
