Klosterkirche Dobbertin

Klosterkirche Dobbertin is a medieval brick church with two towers situated on a peninsula. The grounds feature a large park that extends along the shores of Lake Dobbertin.

The monastery was founded in 1220 by Benedictine monks and passed to nuns in 1237. Over the centuries it evolved into an aristocratic women's convent with significant wealth and influence.

The name reflects its role as a monastery church where religious communities lived and worshipped for centuries. Visitors today can observe the interior furnishings and artwork that speak to this long tradition of spiritual life.

The monastery offers guided tours that allow visitors to explore the church and grounds. The best time to visit is during warmer months when the surroundings and garden areas are fully accessible.

The monastery grounds now house a specialized facility for people with disabilities, operated there since 1991. This shows how historical places transform over time and continue to serve important community functions.
