Monastery Rühn, 12th-century Benedictine monastery in Rühn, Germany

The monastery church features a flat-roofed hall with late Romanesque elements and an 18th-century tower housing nesting spaces for kestrels and owls.

Founded in 1232 by Cistercian nuns, the monastery transformed into a Lutheran noblewomen's collegiate foundation after the Reformation in the late 16th century.

The monastery established a girls' school that operated until the mid-18th century, contributing to educational development in the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern region.

Located at Klosterhof 1, the monastery welcomes visitors from Sunday to Thursday between 10:00 and 18:00, and Friday to Saturday between 10:00 and 20:00.

The monastery participates in the European Route of Brick Gothic, connecting significant medieval brick structures across northern European countries.
