Kloster Zarrentin, Cistercian monastery in Zarrentin am Schaalsee, Germany.

The East wing of Kloster Zarrentin exhibits Gothic ribbed vaults on the ground floor and stands near the southern shore of Lake Schaalsee.

Founded in 1246 by Countess Audacia and Count Gunzelin III of Schwerin, the monastery functioned as an educational center for daughters of noble families.

The monastery houses permanent exhibitions in its cloisters, presenting regional history through artifacts and documentation from different time periods.

The monastery contains a library with 12,000 items including books, audiobooks, and multimedia materials, while offering guided tours of its preserved structures.

Following its dissolution in 1552, the building served multiple purposes including a granary, brewery, district court, youth hostel, and local history museum.
