Eldena Abbey

Peaceful and atmospheric

The ruins give you some idea of how massive this mediaeval monastery was. An information helps you to work out which bit was which. On a damp and misty day, it's full of melancholy.

bricks and views

if you cannot avoid coming here plan 5-10min. There is not anything to see, but ruins which is claimed to have been a monastery. Well might have been something else either. You can walk around or by. ...

Lovely setting!

Hidden amongst other less interesting places these ruins of an old convent are quite charming if not romantic. Easy to access and simple to go to, worth a trip there.

Interesting old ruins

We had a local guide who explained all about this ruined monastery. I was fascinated to hear about how the monks brought the local bricks to the area, and I got some excellent and quirky photos here.
