Statue of the White Nun Amelie in Wutzsee

In the middle of the Wutzsee, in front of the remains of the Lindow monastery, there is a woman made of granite. Two meters high and almost 1,500 kilos.
The nun named Amelie is said to have been of extraordinary beauty. The young woman fled because she could no longer stand the life behind the monastery walls. In a way, a fate of Katharina von Bora, who later became the wife of Martin Luther.

Lindow city center at the city hall. Delicious ice cream and a nice little cheese are always in it. Around the corner is also the Wutzsee including the white nun.

The missing nun from Lindow came from a noble family. Her parents had put her in the Cistercian convent in order to put an end to her love for a poor farmer's son. But Jacob and Amelie couldn't let go of each other. One night the young man heaved his beloved over the monastery wall. Both disappeared without a trace. It is unknown whether she drowned in the lake or escaped to a happy future.
