Kloster Hiddensee, Medieval monastery in Insel Hiddensee, Germany.
The monastery complex includes a church building, manor house, and rectory situated beneath the hilly landscape of Dornbusch on Hiddensee Island.
Founded in 1296 as a Cistercian monastery dedicated to Saint Nicholas, the religious community remained active until the last abbot departed in 1536.
The island church features a wooden ceiling decorated with over 1200 roses painted by Berlin artist Max Nikolaus Niemeier in 1922.
The monastery grounds connect to various walking trails leading to elevated points such as Swantiberg, offering views across the Baltic Sea landscape.
The grave of Nobel laureate Gerhart Hauptmann lies in front of the church, connecting literary history with the religious heritage of the site.
