Ahrensbök Charterhouse, Medieval Carthusian monastery ruins in Ahrensbök, Germany
The archaeological site contains the foundations of a former monastery complex with Saint Mary's Church as its remaining structural element.
Established in 1397, the monastery operated until 1584 when Duke John II of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg ordered its demolition for new construction projects.
The monastery materials were reused to build Schloss Hoppenbrook between 1593 and 1601, demonstrating medieval architectural repurposing practices.
Visitors can explore the archaeological remnants and the preserved Brick Gothic Saint Mary's Church, which predates the monastery's construction.
The monastery's extensive estates reached the Bay of Lübeck in Scharbeutz, indicating its substantial economic influence in medieval Holstein.
