STRALSUND MUSEUM St. Catherine's Monastery

STRALSUND MUSEUM St. Catherine's Monastery
📍

Mönchstraße 25 - 27

18439 Stralsund

CURRENTLY CLOSED DUE TO CONVERSION The first museum in the Hanseatic city of Stralsund was founded in 1858 and opened a year later as the "Provinzialmuseum für Neuvorpommern und Rügen". It is also the oldest museum in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Exhibitions on prehistory and early history, urban history, folklore and naval history are presented in three listed buildings. The most beautiful and at the same time most valuable exhibit is the gold jewelry from Hiddensee found in 1872-74. Founded in 1858, the museum is housed in the former Dominican monastery of St. Katharinen in the heart of the listed old town. Two gold treasures from the Viking Age can be admired here, of which the gold jewelry from Hiddensee is not only legendary, but also world-famous. Artistic Stralsund faience invites you to look and marvel, as do rare medieval ecclesiastical vestments. Many other highlights tell of the eventful history of the once so influential city on the Sound, of which it was said in the Middle Ages "...that it was a pearl in the crown of the Hanseatic League...". The largest and most beautiful room in the monastery is the summer hall. This magnificent hall impresses with its wonderful architectural design, which also includes a medieval vault painting. A wide variety of exhibits await visitors on the 1st floor. In addition to craft scrolls, seals and craftsmen's silver, there is above all magnificent furniture from different eras on display. Tableware made of glass and porcelain as well as household items made of copper and brass give an idea of the past splendor of bourgeois parlors. A special highlight are the astronomical and nautical instruments from the collection of Axel Graf von Löwen, who, as Governor General of Swedish Pomerania, bequeathed his unique collection, which also includes art objects of all kinds, to Stralsund in his will in 1761.

Stralsund Museum St. Catherine's Monastery - history in the heart of the old town

The Stralsund Museum in the former Dominican monastery of St. Katharinen is one of the most remarkable cultural institutions on the German Baltic coast. Founded in 1858 and opened a year later as the "Provinzialmuseum für Neuvorpommern und Rügen", it is the oldest museum in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. It is located in the heart of the listed old town of Stralsund - a city that was considered the "pearl in the crown of the Hanseatic League" in the Middle Ages. Note: The museum is currently closed for renovation work

Gold jewelry from Hiddensee and other gems from the Viking Age

The most famous exhibit is the world-famous gold jewelry from Hiddensee, which was found between 1872 and 1874. Together with another gold treasure from the Viking Age, it is one of the museum's most outstanding exhibits. The collection is complemented by ornate Stralsund faience, rare medieval church vestments and magnificent furniture and astronomical instruments from the unique collection of Governor General Axel Graf von Löwen, which he bequeathed to Stralsund in his will in 1761.

Sommerremter - the most magnificent hall of the Katharinenkloster Stralsund

The Sommerremter, the largest and most beautiful room in the monastery, is particularly impressive architecturally. The magnificent hall captivates with its medieval vaulting and conveys an immediate impression of the former splendor of the Dominican monastery. On the upper floors, visitors can see copper and brass household items as well as craft scrolls, seals and craftsmen's silver.

Barrier-free access and guided tours included at the Stralsund Museum

The Stralsund Museum attaches particular importance to accessibility and inclusion. Guided tours are offered for people with visual impairments, cognitive impairments and dementia patients. Access to the museum is barrier-free.
