The Dornbusch lighthouse in Kloster - landmark of the island of Hiddensee
The Dornbusch lighthouse in Kloster is enthroned on a 72-metre-high hill in the highlands of Hiddensee and is one of the most striking lighthouses on the entire German Baltic coast. Since its commissioning in 1888, the lighthouse has served as an important guide for coastal shipping - its light shines far beyond the open Baltic Sea with a visibility range of around 45 kilometers.
Historic clinker brick building with an impressive viewThe 27.5-metre-high tower was built in 1887/88 as a classic round tower made of clinker brickwork and reinforced with a reinforced concrete shell between 1927 and 1929. Those who climb the 102 steps up to the gallery are rewarded with a wide panoramic view over Hiddensee, the Greifswald Bodden and, on a clear day, as far as the coast of Rügen.
Permanent exhibition on the technology and history of the beacon

For safety reasons, access for children is only permitted from the age of six. Admission is €3.00 for adults, €1.50 for children aged between 6 and 17 and €7.50 for families.

Museum of Local History Hiddensee
● Kloster
The local history museum is one of the cultural attractions on the island of Hiddensee. Redesigned a few years ago, the permanent exhibition provides a comprehensive and vivid account of life on the island. An insight into life on the island The Hiddensee local history museum is located directly on the west beach of Kloster. It was built around 1890 as a sea rescue station, but for almost 70 years now the old rescue equipment has only been part of the museum. In the permanent exhibition, which was redesigned a few years ago, visitors of all ages can find out how hard the islanders' lives used to be, how seafaring and fishing shaped everyday life, but also how quickly tourism reduced their worries and brought many prominent guests to the island. The most valuable exhibit in the exhibition is a replica of the Hiddensee gold treasure. The original of Germany's largest Viking gold find is in the possession of the Stralsund Museum. A small highlight of the museum visit for many guests is the "Amber Room". The extensive collection of the amber fisherman Ingolf Engels contains wonderful pieces and shows very nicely how diverse the "gold of the Baltic Sea" can be.
