St. Annen and Brigitten Monastery
The house, dedicated to St.
Anne, was handed over to the Order of the Augustinian Sisters by Hans Bure in 1480. The chapel has been restored and is open to the public since 2007. After the last nuns of the Brigittine convent in Mariakron died in 1560, the extensive lands were assigned to the St. Anne Foundation. This led to the establishment of the St. Anne and Brigittine Convent on Schillstraße. That same year, it was also decided that the convent would serve as a home for destitute widows and unmarried women from the upper middle class. The chapel was likely built in the courtyard at the beginning of the 16th century. In 1842, as part of urgent renovation work, the convent received its own organ from master organ builder Buchholz. The most recent renovation took place from 2003 to 2007. Since then, weddings have also been held in the chapel.
St. Annen and Brigitten Monastery – History in the Heart of Stralsund
The St. Annen and Brigitten Convent in Stralsund is one of the quiet yet impressive testaments to the medieval history of the city in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. The convent, dedicated to St. Anne, was handed over to the Order of the Augustinian Nuns by Hans Bure in 1480. After the death of the last nuns of the Brigittine Convent of Mariakron in 1560, their extensive lands were incorporated into the St. Annen Convent—thus creating the convent on Schillstraße in its present form.
A refuge for women and a place of tranquility
In the same year, 1560, the convent was designated as a shelter for destitute widows and unmarried women from the upper middle class. The chapel in the convent courtyard was likely built at the beginning of the 16th century. In 1842, as part of extensive renovation work, it was equipped with its own organ, crafted by master organ builder Buchholz. Following another renovation between 2003 and 2007, the chapel is once again open to the public and is used, among other things, for weddings.
Stralsund as a Starting Point for the Baltic Sea Region
Stralsund is located in the heart of the German Baltic Sea coast and is an ideal starting point for excursions in the surrounding area—such as to Rügen, the Fischland-Darß-Zingst peninsula, or Greifswald. The Hanseatic city itself is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and offers numerous other historical sights in addition to St. Annen and St. Brigitten Monasteries.
