Zinna Abbey, Former Cistercian monastery in Kloster Zinna, Jüterbog, Germany

Zinna Abbey is a monastery complex featuring a Gothic church, former abbot buildings, and medieval brick structures spread across the grounds in Jüterbog. The site includes a historic weaving house and what was once a house for the sick, both now open to visitors.

The monastery was founded in 1170 and grew into an important center of influence in the region until the Reformation. Its closure came in the 16th century when religious and political changes transformed the site's purpose.

The abbey's Latin name was Coena S. Mariae. Since 1902 the village has carried the name Kloster Zinna, and in 1992 it was incorporated into Jüterbog. The former abbot's townhouse in Jüterbog now houses the town museum, and the brewhouse still produces the herbal liqueur Klosterbruder, with visitors invited to take part.

The site can be visited and guided tours are offered through the restored church and former buildings. It is best to allow time for a leisurely walk across the grounds to explore the architecture and structures at your own pace.

In the former brewhouse, the herbal liqueur "Klosterbruder" is still produced, and visitors are encouraged to take part in the process. The drink is not a medieval recipe: the brewery belongs to the later use of the surviving monastic buildings.
