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.

Until the mid-18th century it served as the home of the widows of the princely house of Mecklenburg-Güstrow.

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