Maribo Abbey, Medieval monastery ruins in Maribo, Denmark
The Gothic red brick ruins include the original abbey church, which now serves as Maribo Cathedral with high aisles and a nave under one roof.
Queen Margaret I donated land for the establishment of Denmark's first Bridgettine monastery in 1416, sending monks from Vadstena Abbey in Sweden.
The monastery functioned as a double institution, housing 60 nuns and 13 canons in separate sections, with the abbess supervising the female residents.
The cathedral features a Baroque altarpiece from 1641 depicting the Last Supper, along with a Renaissance pulpit dating from 1606.
Following Saint Bridget's instructions, the cathedral's chancel stands at the western end rather than the traditional eastern position.
