Neuendorf Abbey was first documented in 1232 and was a Cistercian monastery. It belonged to the Diocese of Verden and developed into one of the largest landowners in the Altmark region in the 14th century. The nuns cultivated large estates and promoted the agricultural development of the region.

After the Reformation, the monastery was secularized in 1579 by the Elector of Brandenburg and converted into a Protestant convent. This existed until 1810. Subsequently, the buildings were used for various purposes, including as a manor.

The monastery church of St. Mary, Benedict, and St. Bernard is an example of North German Brick Gothic architecture. It was built in the 13th century and rebuilt several times. Today, it serves as a Protestant parish church and is occasionally used for cultural events. In addition to the church, the former monastery complex also includes farm buildings and the manor park, which is a listed building.
