The building shown here is the Zehdenick monastery barn, which was probably built in the 14th century. It probably served as a school, place of pilgrimage and/or hospital according to the duties of the nuns. It was not built as a barn, because you can still see an old vaulted cellar, which was used to store supplies. In 1998 the monastery barn was leased to the town of Zehdenick. Since then, the Kulturlandschaft Brandenburg-Nord association has used it as a monastery gallery. Various high-quality cultural events take place in quick succession in the atmospheric atmosphere of the building.

Hiking

The Cistercian convent of Zehdenick was founded around 1250 by Margraves John I and Otto III of Brandenburg and their sister Mechthild. According to legend, the impetus was a Eucharistic miracle from 1249: An innkeeper had buried a consecrated host to boost her beer sales. When she repented and the host was recovered, bloody soil was found – an event interpreted as divine. This "blood miracle" made Zehdenick a place of pilgrimage and motivated the founding of the convent southeast of the town on the Havel River.
