Beinhaus, Medieval ossuary at Bad Doberan monastery, Germany.

The octagonal brick structure features slender proportions and decorated glazed stones integrated into the walls of the monastery complex.

Built around 1270, the Beinhaus functioned as storage for monks' bones until 1552 when their graves needed to be reoccupied.

The Beinhaus stands as part of the European Route of Brick Gothic, representing northern German architectural traditions from the medieval period.

Visitors can access the Beinhaus at Klosterstraße 2 in Bad Doberan, with guided tours available through the monastery administration office.

The structure maintains its original thirteenth-century octagonal design with decorative elements that demonstrate medieval German craftsmanship techniques.
