Carmelite Priory, Helsingør, Medieval monastery complex in Helsingør, Denmark
The four-winged monastery structure includes Sankt Mariæ Kirke as its southern wing, featuring Gothic architectural elements and decorated interior spaces.
Erik of Pommern granted permission to build the monastery in 1430, but after a fire in 1450, the current complex was completed around 1500.
The church served the German-Dutch community from 1576, with services conducted in German until 1851, reflecting the international character of Helsingør.
The monastery complex remains open to visitors who can explore the cloisters, Lazarus Hall in the northern wing, and Laxmandsalen in the eastern section.
The renowned composer Diderich Buxtehude worked as the church organist from 1660 to 1668 before his transfer to Lübeck.
