Malchow Monastery is a former Magdalene convent in Alt Malchow, located on the southern shore of Lake Malchow.
The first Magdalene convent, "penitent women in the tradition of Mary Magdalene," was founded before 1274 in Neu Röbel on Lake Müritz.
Between May 21 and June 2, 1298, Bishop Gottfried I von Bülow moved the convent of the Order of Penitents from the Diocese of Havelberg to the Archdeaconry of Waren in the village of Alt Malchow on the southern shore of Lake Malchow.[1] Dominicans took over the convent buildings in Röbel.

A very beautiful and imposing church building, well worth a visit. The tower of the monastery church can be climbed and offers a magnificent view of the monastery complex, the island town of Malchow, and across Lake Malchow.
Malchow Monastery is idyllically situated right next to Lake Malchow. According to tradition, the monastery was founded at its present location in 1298 when nuns from the Order of Penitents moved there from Röbel. The monastery complex houses the art museum and the Mecklenburg Organ Museum.
