Kloster Wanzka, Medieval monastery in Wanzka, Germany.

The monastery occupies a small peninsula in Lake Wanzka, between Neustrelitz and Neubrandenburg, with its church and gate remaining as primary structures.

Founded between 1275 and 1283, the Cistercian monastery received official documentation from Margrave Albert III of Brandenburg on January 25, 1290.

The monastery served as a religious center for unmarried daughters of regional nobility, including Anna, daughter of Duke Ulrich I of Mecklenburg-Stargard.

Following extensive renovations from 2016 to 2017, the monastery church received repairs to its roof, facade, windows, ceiling, and walls.

The monastery's round convention seal from 1330 displays a coronation of Mary with an inscription referencing the monastery church.
