St Katharinen in Stralsund, Dominican monastery in Stralsund, Germany
The St Katharinen monastery stretches 73 meters in length and features a three-nave hall church built in the Brick Gothic architectural style.
Founded in 1251 by Prince Jaromar II of Rügen, the monastery served as a Dominican religious center until the Reformation period in the 16th century.
The chapter house contains medieval vault paintings from the 15th century, supported by eight slender pillars beneath a cross-ribbed vault ceiling.
The monastery houses both the Museum of Cultural History since 1924 and the German Oceanographic Museum with its aquarium since 1951.
The monastery's western section functioned as a grammar school until 1945, while its eastern wing operated as a municipal orphanage until 1919.
