Rühn Monastery
Rühn Monastery is a former Benedictine monastery founded in the 13th century. It became a Protestant convent for ladies from 1567 to 1756. The monastery was destroyed during the Thirty Years' War, but it was rebuilt and reintroduced to its function. In the 19th century, the monastery area became the private property of several noble families of Mecklenburg. After the Second World War, it was used as a shelter for war refugees, settlers and orphans. From 1950, a Jugendwerkhof (JWH) was established there, which was dissolved in 1991 and the buildings remained empty for almost 15 years. The monastery is now owned by an association.
