Boitzenburg Abbey (Ruin)

The Boitzenburg Monastery Ruin is the ruin of the Cistercian nunnery Marienpforte, which was destroyed during the Thirty Years' War. The ruin is located on the eastern edge of the village of Boitzenburg, which is about 20 km west of Prenzlau and about 80 km north of Berlin in the Uckermark (Brandenburg).

The monastery complex, built of brick around 1230, was first documented in 1271. Its construction took place roughly at the same time as the establishment of Chorin Monastery. In the course of the Reformation, the monastery was secularized in 1536, but the building itself remained.
