Dobrilugk Abbey, Cistercian monastery in Doberlug-Kirchhain, Germany

This brick monastery features a cruciform church with thick walls, high windows, and two rectangular towers flanking the western facade.

Founded in 1101, the monastery expanded its influence by 1373 through the ownership of forty villages and five monastic farms in Lower Lusatia.

The monastery transforms into a cultural center, offering guided tours through its medieval architecture and regional history exhibitions.

The monastery stands at Schlossplatz in Doberlug-Kirchhain, Brandenburg, with visitor access available through scheduled guided tours.

The monastery buildings underwent conversion into a hunting lodge in 1550 when Saxon Elector Johann Friedrich took control of the property.
