The nunnery that moved into Sonnenkamp came from the branch in Parkow. The Marienkloster in Bergen on Rügen had also been intended as the mother house, but the Benedictine convent in Arendsee in the Altmark was a more likely candidate, since Adelheid, the second wife of Prince Borwin I, was a princess from the Mark Brandenburg who, through good relations with the Arendsee monastery, brought the first Benedictine nuns to Mecklenburg. After 1245, the convent adopted the Cistercian rule, which was probably due to the influence of the powerful Cistercian abbey of Doberan. In a letter of protection from Pope Clement IV dated May 26, 1267,[6] a Cistercian monastery was first mentioned as Cysterciensis ordinis, and the monastery was governed by a prioress and followed the rules of Saint Benedict according to the customs of the Cistercian brothers….

The former Cistercian monastery has the most beautiful name and is the oldest church. The monastery was a second foundation by Heinrich Borwin I. The original site was Parchow near Neubukow. The monastery was rebuilt and finally established in 1249. Initially a Benedictine monastery, it became Cistercian in 1249.

In Neukirchen, the mighty church tower greets you from afar! This imposing fieldstone church was built in the mid-13th century. The door and window frames are made of brick, a new and expensive building material at the time! The interior is a two-bay nave, vaulted like the chancel. The oldest piece of furnishings is the late Gothic crucifix from the 15th century.
