St Catherine's Monastery, Bremen, 13th century Dominican monastery ruins in Mitte district, Germany.

The brick Gothic structure of St Catherine's Monastery contains preserved fragments of the refectory, cloister, and chapter room within modern buildings.

Founded in 1225 as Germany's second Dominican monastery, the religious complex operated until its dissolution in 1528 during the Protestant Reformation period.

The monastery grounds later housed the Schola Bremensis grammar school and Bibliotheca Bremensis library, establishing an educational center for the community.

Visitors can observe the monastery remains integrated into a restaurant at Katharinenklosterhof 7 and explore the site through the Katharinenpassage.

The monastery structure served multiple functions through centuries, including an arsenal in the 1800s and Bremen's historical museum from 1900 to 1905.
