The Zehdenick Cistercian Nunnery was founded in 1250 AD. The building’s original function was as a hospital and school, as well as to provide lodgings for traveling pilgrims, countless of whom stayed here over the centuries until the outbreak of the Reformation in the early 1500s. The cloister was then turned into a Protestant retreat. In recent times, the space was used simply as a storage space.In November 1996, the Zehdenick Town Council, acting on a proposal from our association, approved the refurbishment of the space. The Cloister Gallery situated inside the Cloister Barn opened its doors on April 1, 2000. On the north side of the cloistered yard, one can still see the intact arcaded walkway and the refectories (mess halls). 

 

In its normal function as the home of the “Cloister Gallery,” the historic Cloister Barn offers you a rich assortment of all sorts of art exhibitions.We cooperate with prestigious cultural institutions such as the National Gallery in Berlin and are proud to mount regular exhibits of works by internationally renowned artists. Our priority is to exhibit the work of contemporary artists active in a wide range of styles and genres.
