Kloster Krevese, Romanesque church in Krevese, Germany

Kloster Krevese is a Romanesque basilica of field stone and brick, built up to about 1200 with an apse but no transept. The central nave carries Gothic cross vaults from the second half of the 14th century; the south aisle was raised to nave height around 1527, while the north aisle keeps its barrel vault with lunettes. The tower is a half-timbered upper storey of 1598 above the western nave bay, given a baroque cupola and lantern in 1707.

Count Albrecht von Osterburg founded this Benedictine monastery structure in 1170, which later became a Protestant women's convent in 1541. The shift from Catholic to Protestant faith is clearly visible in how the building changed its purpose.

The monastery was founded in 1170 and passed to the von Bismarck family in 1563 through an exchange of estates; the last canoness died in 1602 and the convent was dissolved. The church keeps a baroque pulpit altar and a baptismal angel of 1743/46, plus pews and a patron's box predating 1744. A bronze bell was cast by Johann George Ziegner in Salzwedel in 1745.

The church is entered through a portal dated 1746 in the north aisle; the west front survives only as traces and a blocked double portal over a square central pier. The nave floor is level and the pews leave a clear central aisle, but the north aisle keeps its lower barrel vault with lunettes and rectangular windows added in 1908, so headroom differs between the two sides.

The baroque organ built in 1721 by Anton Heinrich Gansen keeps its original sound with 13 registers on the manual and pedal. This instrument represents 18th-century organ craftsmanship in the region.
