Bordesholmer Kloster, Medieval monastery in Bordesholm, Germany.
The Bordesholmer Monastery features a three-nave brick church built in Gothic style, positioned on an artificial island in Lake Bordesholm.
The monastery, founded in 1127 by Vizelin for the Augustinian canons, moved to its current location in 1330 and remained active until secularization in 1566.
The monastery church contains notable medieval art, including a late Gothic carved altar from the 15th century and the tomb of Duchess Anna of Brandenburg.
Visitors can access the church daily between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM, except during ceremonies such as weddings, baptisms, and special events.
The monastery's extensive library, containing over 650 manuscripts and prints, was transferred to the University of Kiel after its dissolution.

Schleswig-Holstein combines historic structures with varied natural landscapes between the North Sea and the Baltic Sea. The region encompasses castles such as Glücksburg and Plön, medieval monasteries including Cismar and Nütschau, and museums spanning from Viking times to maritime history. Visitors find the Hedeby Viking Museum, Gottorf Castle in Schleswig, and the historic Ratzeburg Cathedral. The natural areas extend from beaches at Pelzerhaken and Rosenfelder Strand to the Lauenburg Lakes Nature Park and moorland at Kaltenhofer Moor. The Geltinger Birk Nature Reserve and wildlife parks at Eekholt and Arche Warder display native flora and fauna. The Kiel Canal, lighthouses at Westerhever and Amrum, and the Multimar Wattforum in Tönning document the importance of the coastal region.
