The Johanniterkomturei Gardow, a historic monastery in Brandenburg, bears witness to a rich past and is a remarkable example of medieval sacred architecture. Its history is closely intertwined with the work of the Order of St. John, which once exerted widespread influence in the region.
History+
The foundation of the Gardow Commandery dates back to the Order of St. John, which established itself here in the Middle Ages. As a commandery, it played an important role in the administration and charitable tasks of the order. Over the centuries, Gardow developed into a significant religious and economic center, whose influence extended far beyond the immediate surroundings. The history of the commandery reflects the eventful times of Brandenburg, from the heyday of the order to later upheavals.
