Kloster Lilienthal, 13th-century religious complex in Lilienthal, Germany

The monastery features a single-nave brick church with a steep gable and cross vaults spanning across five interior bays.

Archbishop Gerhard II of Bremen established the Cistercian convent in 1232, following the death of his brother Hermann zur Lippe in battle.

The monastery transformed from a Catholic Cistercian convent to a Lutheran institution in 1552, reflecting the religious changes of the Reformation period.

The former monastery church now functions as an Evangelical parish church, maintaining its medieval architectural elements through regular preservation efforts.

The church interior contains a Baroque pulpit altar from 1738 and a preserved gravestone of Abbess Gertrud Scheene from 1385.
