Dargun Palace

The monastery was founded here in 1172 on the site of a former heathen temple after the conquest of the region by Christian forces in 1164.

Dargun was re-established in 1208 by monks from Doberan Abbey, which is therefore counted as its mother house.

The church is now ruined but parts of the choir, nave and transept remain.

It was re-converted in the 19th century under Georg Adolf Demmler, and burnt down at the end of World War II.

The buildings presently accommodate an information bureau and the town library.
