Dargun, Medieval monastery complex in Mecklenburgische Seenplatte District, Germany

The town of Dargun spans across 117 square kilometers of land, featuring the remains of a Cistercian monastery that later transformed into a palace complex.

The settlement developed around a monastery established by Cistercian monks in the 12th century and became part of the Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg-Schwerin from 1815 to 1918.

The monastery church of St. Mary, accommodating 300 visitors, hosts regular concerts and religious services within its restored medieval architecture.

Visitors can obtain tourist fishing permits for Klostersee and access detailed information about local attractions at the city information center.

The monastery complex includes a woodland adventure trail, a historical experience path with Slavic fortifications, and a maze for exploration.
