Kloster St. Mariä und Gertrudis, Cistercian monastery in Hedersleben, Germany.

The monastery complex includes quadratic cloisters, baroque farm buildings, and a medieval tower connected to Saint Gertrude's Church.

Founded in 1253 by Albert and Ludwig von Hakeborn, twelve nuns from Helfta Abbey moved to Hedersleben monastery in 1262.

The monastery remained Catholic during the Reformation period under Abbess Margarete von Hoym, leading to construction of a Protestant church in 1713.

The monastery buildings now function as an event center, Catholic parish office, and educational facility in Saxony-Anhalt.

The monastery's farmyard features a reconstructed dovecote from 1994 and contains a Renaissance-era cast iron stove plate inside the tower.
