    Although a ruin, it is an impressive and very well-kept complex.
    What a masterpiece by the builders who built the monastery around 1200.

      The ruins of Eldena can be seen in many of Caspar David Friedrich’s paintings

        The monastery ruins are much more than one would expect from the painting by CDF. Very beautiful!

          The monastery was founded in 1199. Occasional events take place in the park.
