Jerichow Monastery, Romanesque monastery in Jerichow, Germany
The monastery complex includes the Saint Mary and Saint Nicholas church, featuring brick architecture with round pillars and white-painted joints throughout the structure.
Founded in 1144 by Bremen Cathedral Provost Hartwig, the monastery relocated to its current location in 1148 due to market noise at the initial site.
The Premonstratensian canons, following Saint Augustine's rules, established this religious center as a cornerstone for Christianity's expansion into Slavic territories.
The monastery museum presents permanent exhibits about medieval construction techniques, while the grounds include themed gardens and a cafe for visitors.
The monastery represents one of the earliest examples of North German brick architecture, influencing numerous subsequent religious buildings in the region.
