Stolpe Abbey, Romanesque monastery ruins in Stolpe an der Peene, Germany

The monastery stands on the southern bank of the Peene River between Gützkow and Anklam, featuring characteristic elements of medieval religious architecture.

Duke Ratibor I of Pomerania founded the monastery on May 3, 1153, as the first religious establishment of its kind in the Pomeranian region.

Benedictine monks from Berge Abbey near Magdeburg settled at the monastery, establishing a center of religious education and manuscript production.

The monastery grounds contain interpretative panels explaining the architectural elements and historical events that shaped the religious complex.

Two Estonian abbeys, Kärkna and Padise, operated under the authority of Stolpe Abbey during the early 14th century.
