Tips from the Community
The monastery was built in the 13th century as a Cistercian convent for virgins. After an eventful history, it is now owned by the "Klosterverein Rühn e.V.", which lovingly takes care of the facility and has brought life back to the place with a clever concept. Look at everything in peace and let yourself be pampered in the monastery tavern. You can find more information and the opening hours here: https://www.klosterverein-ruehn.de/de/kloster/verkoestigung.

The Rühn monastery was founded in 1232 as a Cistercian virgin monastery by the Schwerin bishop Brunward. Before secularization it was the largest landowner in the region. In the course of the Reformation, it was first rededicated as a Lutheran in 1542 and then in 1575 under Duchess Elisabeth to become a Protestant monastery. The monastic use ended in 1756. It then became the administrative seat of the ducal dominion office, after which it became privately owned. During the Weimar period, the building was owned by the AOK Rostock. During National Socialism, the buildings were used for labor service. At the end of World War II, refugees, orphans and the elderly were billeted. From 1950 to 1991 it was a youth work center for "difficult" young people. Until the building was acquired by the Rühn monastery association, it was temporarily owned by the local oil and mustard mill.
