Neuzelle minster

Neuzeller Minster is a church building featuring Baroque architecture in Brandenburg. The interior showcases ornate decorations, several altars, and religious artworks arranged across its nave and side chapels.

The church was founded in 1268 as part of a Cistercian monastery established by Henry the Illustrious. Major Baroque renovations in the 1600s transformed its Gothic style into the ornate appearance it shows today.

The monastery's name comes from its Cistercian foundation, and visitors can see religious artworks that still reflect the spiritual life monks once lived here. The altar dedicated to John of Nepomuk shows influences from Czech traditions that blended with local practices.

The building receives visitors most days and provides tours explaining its architectural features. Arriving earlier in the day helps visitors explore the interior at a comfortable pace without crowds.

In 2018, Cistercian monks returned to the site after more than 200 years away and established a new monastery. This revival of monastic life turned it into an active spiritual community rather than just a historical site.
