Kloster Lindow, Cistercian monastery in Lindow (Mark), Germany

The monastery complex extends between Gudelacksee and Wutzsee lakes, featuring preserved structures from the 15th century and surrounding parkland with ancient trees.

Founded in 1220 by Count Gebhard of Arnstein, the monastery transitioned into a Lutheran women's convent following the Reformation in the 16th century.

The monastery grounds include a historic cemetery containing restored graves of convent members, mentioned in Theodor Fontane's novel Der Stechlin.

Visitors can access the monastery grounds throughout the year, while the convent ruins remain open from Easter until the end of October.

The facility now operates as a Protestant senior center with 51 places, maintaining its centuries-old tradition of community service since 1947.
