Michaeliskloster, Medieval monastery in Rostock, Germany.
The Michaeliskloster consists of multiple wings with an eastern section restored in the 1950s and a west wing featuring reproduced form bricks from 1994.
Founded on January 17, 1401, the monastery served as a center for the Brethren of the Common Life until British bombing raids destroyed it in April 1942.
The monastery established itself as a primary location for printing and bookbinding activities during the late Middle Ages in northern Germany.
The University of Rostock Library currently maintains its special collections within the restored sections of the Michaeliskloster building complex.
The west wing reconstruction utilized specialized bricks manufactured to match the physical properties and appearance of the original medieval materials.
