Zarrentin Convent

The townscape is characterized by houses in traditional regional architecture from the 18th and 19th centuries. Particularly noteworthy are the former Cistercian nunnery, situated high above Lake Schaalsee, the Church of St. Peter and St. Paul, and the local heritage museum.

A permanent exhibition in the monastery cloister provides a direct connection to the nunnery and its history. Guided tours of the monastery and high-quality cultural events, such as concerts, readings, markets, and festivals, make your visit an unforgettable experience.

The former sexton’s school (today a hotel and restaurant), the parsonage, and the rest of the Amtsstraße (formerly Bauernstraße), running parallel to the lakeshore with its lovingly restored houses, offer ideal opportunities for leisurely walks.
