Komturei Lietzen, Medieval monastery in Lietzen, Germany

The Komturei Lietzen complex contains a single-nave church, a manor house, and a five-story granary from the 13th century.

Founded in 1229 by the Knights Templar, the monastery transferred to the Order of Saint John after the Templars dissolution in 1312.

The manor house exhibits baroque ceiling paintings and stucco decorations, reflecting the architectural changes throughout the centuries.

Visitors can access parts of the grounds and church, while guided tours provide information about the religious and agricultural heritage.

The granary stands as one of the oldest storage buildings in Germany, maintaining its original medieval structure and construction methods.
