Museum Neukloster: town history in a historic half-timbered house
The Neukloster Museum is part of the impressive Klosterhof ensemble in the middle of the small town of Neukloster in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Housed in a listed half-timbered house, which was handed over to the Museumsverein Neukloster e.V. after extensive renovation in 2003, it is the latest addition to a historically evolved ensemble consisting of a church, bell tower, provost building and youth barn around a cobbled monastery courtyard.
Permanent exhibition "Neukloster/Mecklenburg - 1170 to the present day"
Since 2016, the museum has presented a permanent exhibition that guides visitors through the history of Neukloster and the Mecklenburg region like a biography - from its beginnings in 1170 to the present day. The program is regularly supplemented by changing special exhibitions that keep the cultural and historical heritage of the region alive. For all those who want to explore the Baltic coast of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern away from well-known places such as Wismar, Rostock or Stralsund, a detour to Neukloster is worthwhile.
Neukloster as an excursion destination between the Baltic Sea coast and Mecklenburg inland
Neukloster is located in western Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, easily accessible from the Baltic coast around Wismar and Fischland-Darß-Zingst. Today, the monastery courtyard ensemble with its museum is one of the town's main attractions and a worthwhile stop on a round trip through the region.
Further sights in Neukloster
Neuklostersee bathing area with boat hire
📍 Neukloster
The charming Neuklostersee lake invites locals and guests to enjoy swimming with its large sunbathing lawn, playground, kiosk and boat hire. Neuklostersee races, beach parties and swimming competitions take place here. The mighty glaciers of the last ice age formed the charming terminal moraine landscape around Neukloster and left behind a very special pearl in the form of the heart-shaped 2.6 km² Neuklostersee. In addition to a sunbathing lawn, the bathing area also has a volleyball court. The beautiful, clear Neuklostersee can be explored by boat. Sandra and Ralf Fischer hire out water bikes and rowing boats from May to September. Their kiosk also provides refreshments. The ASB ensures safety every year from May 15 to September 15.
Sonnenkamp Monastery
📍 Neukloster
The monastery church with the oldest stained glass windows in northern Germany, the provost's building and the bell tower are all buildings that have been preserved. The town of Neukloster lies to the east of Wismar on Lake Neukloster. Only the monastery church, the bell tower and the provost building remain of the former Benedictine monastery, now the Sonnenkamp monastery, which was founded there in 1219 under the name Campus Solis. The monastery was secularized in 1555 as part of the Reformation. Large parts of the grounds subsequently fell into disrepair. However, a visit to the monastery church is still worthwhile today. Here visitors will find some of the oldest stained glass in northern Germany. They were created around 1250, depict various saints and are located in the choir's group of three windows. Various herbs grow in the monastery garden, which is modeled on the one in St. Gallen in Switzerland. The altar of the Virgin Mary was created around 1500 by an unknown master. The carved predella consists of parts of another altar and is significantly older (around 1420). It depicts scenes and figures of saints. The monastery church also has a bell tower, which was built at the beginning of the 15th century and originally had three bells. One bell was lost in the Second World War, but was recast in May 2002 so that Neukloster now has a full peal of bells again. The bell tower attracts visitors with exhibitions and the monastery church with its art treasures. The stepped gable of the provostry is a special gem of brick Gothic architecture.
