Chorin Abbey, Cistercian monastery in Chorin, Brandenburg, Germany
The red brick monastery exhibits Gothic architecture with steep gables, pointed arches, and detailed stone carvings throughout its extensive grounds.
Founded in 1258 by Margrave Johann I and Otto III of Brandenburg, the monastery served as a religious center until its dissolution in 1542.
The monastery grounds host the annual Chorin Music Summer festival, presenting classical concerts in the former church building since 1964.
Guided tours operate daily at 11:00 and 13:00 during summer weekends, while winter visits require advance reservations between 10:00 and 16:00.
Karl Friedrich Schinkel initiated the preservation of this monastery in the 19th century, transforming it into an early example of Prussian monument conservation.
