Klosterkirche St. Maria, Medieval church in Kloster Zinna, Germany

The Klosterkirche St. Maria stands as a granite basilica with a cross-shaped floor plan, featuring polygonal apses and pointed arches throughout its structure.

Construction of the church began in the 12th century under Archbishop Wichmann of Magdeburg, with consecration taking place in 1226 after initial building delays.

The interior contains medieval altar blocks, a baroque pulpit, and Gothic floor inscriptions that reflect the religious practices of different historical periods.

The church welcomes visitors from Easter to Reformation Day between 11:00 AM and 3:00 PM, with guided tours available through the parish office.

During restoration work in 2017, workers discovered a 1722 wall painting beneath the organ gallery depicting King David playing his harp.
