Kloster Neuendorf

The first documented mention of Neuendorf Monastery dates back to 1232. It was a Cistercian nunnery that became one of the largest landowners in the Altmark during the 14th century. Margrave Johann initially gifted nine hides of land to the newly founded convent, followed by the entire remaining village in 1233, including all rights, mills, pastures, and forests. Following the dismissal of the last provost in 1544 and the transfer of administration in 1545, the monastery was finally dissolved in 1579. However, it continued to exist as an evangelical ladies' foundation until 1810. The associated domain was dissolved in 1831, and the estate was sold.

Kloster Neuendorf is located in the Altmarkkreis Salzwedel in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany. The complex lies approximately four kilometers east of the old town of Gardelegen, alongside the Laugebach stream, and borders the northern edge of the Colbitz-Letzlinger Heide. Its elevation above sea level is approximately 58 meters.

Today, Kloster Neuendorf is a district of the Hanseatic city of Gardelegen. The former monastic complex is integrated into a linear village, whose structure has evolved over the centuries.
