Ein magischer Ort! Vor mehr als 700 Jahren gegründet, war das Kloster Stift zum Heiligengrabe zunächst ein Zisterzienserinnenkloster, nach der Reformation dann ein evangelisches Damenstift. In der Ostprignitz, auf halbem Weg zwischen Hamburg und Berlin gelegen, pflegt das Klosterstift bis heute ein aktives geistliches Leben und beeindruckt durch seine jahrhundertealte Bausubstanz.

A magical place! Founded more than seven centuries years ago, the Stift zum Heiligengrabe was originally a Cistercian nunnery. Since the Reformation, it has been a Protestant Collegiate Foundation for women. Located in the East Prignitz district, half way between Hamburg and Berlin, the foundation still maintains an active spiritual life, while the centuries-old building is impressive in itself.
