The monastery was probably founded around 1230 by the Counts of Arnstein, who also called themselves Counts of Lindow. In 1542 the Reformation was introduced and the monastery was converted into a Protestant convent for women. It was one of the richest monasteries in the Mark until 1638, when it was destroyed by imperial troops along with its valuable library and documents.

In his novel "Der Stechlin" Fontane described the monastery of Lindow and its historic cemetery as Kloster Wutz. “Lindow is as lovely as its name. It grows between three lakes and old linden trees take it under their shade,” is how Fontane expresses his feelings about the idyllic location that he has visited several times.

In the "Garden of the Book" there is a blackboard for each plant on which a quotation from a religious book can be read in which this plant is already found. Garden fans will be amazed at what ancient times some plants were already mentioned.
