Klosterkirche Altfriedland

Klosterkirche Altfriedland is a fieldstone church built in early Gothic style, located between two lakes and dating to the 13th century. The structure features the distinctive mass and characteristic Gothic details of its period.

The building was constructed between 1230 and 1271 as part of a Cistercian convent and has shaped the landscape since then. After secularization in 1540, it became a Protestant parish church.

The church hosts regular concerts of sacred and secular music from the 16th and 17th centuries in both the main hall and adjoining rooms. Visitors experience the blend of religious and worldly compositions within this historic setting.

The church is open during set hours and provides accessible entry to the main level. Visitors can find information on site and ask the parish for details about tours or event schedules.

The interior contains artistic details from the 18th century, including a painted wooden barrel vault and an organ with hundreds of pipes. These elements show how the church was redesigned after transformation in that era.
