Lehnin

Lehnin or Kloster Lehnin is a town near Brandenburg outside of Berlin, Germany.

It is best known for its 825-year-old monastery, Lehnin Abbey, which is the oldest monastery in the March of Brandenburg and was founded in 1180 by Margrave Otto I.

Today, this well-maintained area includes the renovated monastery church and other Gothic buildings. A number of small shops add to the lively image of the town.
