Malchow Abbey, Cistercian monastery in Malchow, Germany.

The monastic complex consists of a church with a 52-meter brick tower, cloister buildings, and gardens along Lake Malchow.

Founded in 1298, the monastery moved from Röbel to Malchow, receiving patronage from Nicholas II, Prince of Werle, for churches in the region.

The former refectory contains an art museum displaying works from regional artists while preserving the medieval architectural elements of the space.

The monastery houses the Mecklenburg Organ Museum, featuring permanent exhibitions about regional organ construction and allowing visitors to examine instrument mechanics.

After the Reformation in 1572, the abbey transformed into a Protestant residence for unmarried noblewomen, maintaining this function until 1923.
