Lehnin Abbey, Cistercian monastery in Brandenburg, Germany
The red brick monastery features Gothic architectural elements with pointed arches, tall windows, and a central church measuring 70 meters in length.
Margrave Otto I of Brandenburg founded Lehnin Abbey in 1180, making it the first monastery established in the region during medieval times.
The monastery became a Protestant institution during the Reformation in 1542, transforming from a Catholic center into a new religious establishment.
Located 24 kilometers southwest of Potsdam, the monastery complex includes a rehabilitation clinic, nursing home, and educational facilities for visitors.
The Vaticinium Lehninense, a prophetic text attributed to a monk named Hermann, describes future events about Brandenburg's ruling families until the 1700s.
