Zarrentin Monastery on Lake Schaalsee
Highlight • Religious Site
The Cistercian nunnery was founded in 1246 by Countess Audacia and her son, who later became Count Gunzelin III. von Schwerin, founded. As a so-called “virgin monastery”, it served as a place of education and refuge for the daughters of the counts and vassals from the neighboring counties as well as for Lübeck patrician families. In the course of secularization, the monastery was dissolved in 1552. After that it was used as a granary, brewery and district court. Youth hostel, residential building, library and home parlor used.
In the years 2003 to 2006 the monastery, an important monument of the architectural and state history of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, was extensively and accurately renovated. The architects, builders and preservationists entrusted with the renovation succeeded in an outstanding way in bringing old building fabric and modern requirements into a convincing synthesis. The artistically designed Gothic ribbed vaults on the ground floor are particularly interesting from an architectural point of view. A permanent exhibition is set up in the cloister, which is directly related to the monastery and its history. Guided tours in the monastery and church are intended to familiarize visitors with the details of historical developments.

Zarrentin Abbey Church
Highlight • Religious Site
The Romanesque fieldstone masonry of the square choir dates from the 1230s/40s. Around 1300/10 the choir was raised with brickwork. The choir today has a flat ceiling. On the choir walls there are heavily restored, scenic wall paintings from the second half of the 14th century, which show Christ as judge of the world, the coronation of Mary, Cain and Abel, the sacrifice of Isaac and some saints.
In 1460, using parts of the old church with indulgences, the current Gothic nave was built from brick.
In 1552 the nunnery was abolished and the church was once again the town's parish church.
The west tower was not completed until 1672. The tower contains parts from the 13th and 14th centuries. The current upper floor of the tower dates from the 18th century and consists of a half-timbered construction that is boarded up on the west side. The small, square clock tower top was completed by an octagonal spire.
