Kloster Arendsee, Romanesque monastery in Arendsee, Germany.

The monastery complex includes a three-nave pillared basilica church built from brick, measuring 49.5 meters in length with a height of 11.3 meters.

Margrave Otto I founded the Benedictine monastery at Christmas 1183, with construction beginning in 1185 and final completion achieved in 1240.

The monastery housed a school for noble children from 1232 and maintained a community of 70 nuns by 1481.

Visitors can access the monastery from May to September, Thursday through Sunday between 11:00 and 17:00, with admission costing 5 euros for adults.
