Ladies' square at Malchow Monastery

Ladies' square at Malchow Monastery
Together with the former refectory (now an art museum), the Damenplatz at Malchow Monastery forms the center of the grounds. The middle of the Damenplatz is dominated by a 300-year-old lime tree. Around 1900, the baroque-style design was simplified. Additional paths and flowerbeds were laid out, ornamental trees planted and modern gas lanterns installed. After 1945, the garden was lost, but the trees, the row of Chinese lilacs and a magnolia remained. In summer, it is possible to enjoy coffee and cake from the monastery café while immersing yourself in the history of the monastery. Events, such as the Viking Festival, also take place on the grounds.

Ladies' Square at Malchow Monastery - a green centerpiece on the Baltic Sea

The Ladies' Square at Malchow Monastery, together with the former refectory - now used as an art museum - forms the historic center of the monastery grounds. In the middle of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, not far from the Baltic Sea coast, this special place invites you to linger. At the center of the square is a 300-year-old lime tree, which gives the ensemble its unmistakable character.

Historic garden design and preserved tree treasures

The originally baroque-style grounds were redesigned around 1900: New paths and flowerbeds were created, ornamental trees were planted and gas lanterns were installed. After 1945, a large part of the garden was lost. In addition to the old lime tree, a row of Chinese lilacs and a magnolia have been preserved - silent witnesses to the monastery's eventful history.

Coffee, culture and events on the monastery grounds

The Damenplatz is particularly enjoyable in summer: If you like, you can enjoy coffee and cake from the monastery café right on the square and immerse yourself in the history of the monastery. Occasionally, events are also held on the grounds, including the popular Viking Festival, which gives the place a lively flair. A worthwhile stop on a round trip through Mecklenburg-Vorpommern - perhaps combined with excursions to Rostock, Güstrow or the Mecklenburg Lake District.
