Himmelpfort Abbey, Cistercian monastery in Fürstenberg/Havel, Germany

The monastery includes preserved walls of medieval buildings, stone foundations, and architectural elements positioned between four interconnected lakes in Brandenburg.

Founded in 1299 by Margrave Albrecht III of Brandenburg, the monastery operated until 1541 when it was dissolved during the Protestant Reformation.

The monastery complex reveals the influence of Cistercian architecture through its remaining structures, including the church and former economic buildings.

The monastery grounds remain open for visitors who can explore the architectural remnants while following marked paths through the site.

The monastery's brew house, which served economic purposes during medieval times, now functions as a cultural space for exhibitions and theater performances.
