Zehdenick Abbey, Cistercian monastery in Zehdenick, Germany.
The monastery complex includes remaining external walls, sections of the cloister, and parts of the original abbey barn from medieval times.
Founded in 1250, Zehdenick Abbey operated as a nunnery until 1541 when the Reformation transformed it into a secular college for noblewomen.
The monastery began with twelve nuns who maintained Cistercian principles of simplicity and discipline while managing extensive agricultural lands.
The former abbey buildings now serve the community through family counseling services, youth organizations, and an art gallery in Zehdenick.
According to medieval chronicles, the abbey's establishment followed reports of a miraculous bleeding host in 1249, making Zehdenick a pilgrimage site.
