Heiligengrabe Abbey, Cistercian monastery in Heiligengrabe, Germany
The monastery complex includes a church, a Holy Sepulchre chapel with stepped gables, and several agricultural buildings from different construction periods.
Otto IV of Brandenburg founded the monastery in 1287, establishing it with twelve nuns from the Neuendorf Cistercian convent in Altmark.
The monastery demonstrates the influence of Brick Gothic architecture through its detailed masonry work, vaulted ceilings, and structural design principles.
Daily prayer services take place at noon in the monastery church, and guided tours explain the building's architectural and religious significance.
The Chapel of the Holy Sepulchre contains an underground burial vault discovered in 1986, dating back to the monastery's foundation period.
