Kloster Diesdorf, Romanesque monastery in Diesdorf, Germany.

The monastery features a three-nave basilica with a transept, choir, and apses, constructed entirely of red brick using Romanesque architectural principles.

Founded in 1161 by Count Hermann of Lüchow, the monastery initially housed both Augustinian canons and choir women before becoming exclusively a women's convent.

The church contains medieval artifacts including a carved Christ figure sarcophagus and historical chalices that represent religious craftsmanship through different centuries.

The monastery stands along the Romanesque Road, making it accessible for visitors exploring the architectural heritage sites of Saxony-Anhalt through this cultural route.

The building holds the distinction of being the first vaulted church in Altmark to implement a fully developed ribbed system in its construction.
