Beschreibung
The monastery church is a three-nave pillar basilica with a transept and a straight choir end. It shows Romanesque and Gothic styles. The eight-axis nave and transept are flat-roofed. The square side chapels of the choir were demolished, as were the side chapels that were later added to the south transept. The two east bays of the north aisle are separated from the central nave and the transept by walls. The south aisle is located a few minutes away.The south aisle is one step lower than the central nave. The choir has a ribbed vault.The cloister is located south of the church. The cloister was demolished in 1840. The east wing with the square, nine-bay chapter house, the chapel and a square hall with a central column, as well as the dormitory on the upper floor, which was divided into individual cells in the late Middle Ages, and the west wing with the seven-bay lay refectory have been preserved. The connecting corridor to the south aisle of the church was extended to the west in the 14th century and forms the entrance to the groin-vaulted chapel of the von Alvensleben family.Today, the complex with the associated agricultural domain is the property of the Brunswick Cultural Heritage Foundation; the monastery church belongs to the Protestant parish of Mariental.
