ノイクロスターでの周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

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….

Bathing area and refreshment options

Nice place for a rest. Bring a little extra cash 😉

Very nice circular route!

Some very old pollard willows, freshly pruned. Pollard willows need to be pruned regularly and then sprout again

Bench around the tree trunk, protected from the wind and shady in summer

The town of Neukloster lies east of Wismar on Lake Neukloster. Of the former Benedictine monastery, now Sonnenkamp Monastery, which was founded there in 1219 under the name Campus Solis, only the monastery church, the bell tower and the provost's building remain. The monastery was secularized in 1555 during the Reformation. Afterwards, large parts of the site fell into disrepair. A visit to the monastery church is still worthwhile today. Here visitors will find some of the oldest stained glass windows in northern Germany. They were created around 1250, show various saints and are located in the group of three windows in the choir.
