🎧 Listen to Introduction

This 13th-century fortified monastery belonged to the Teutonic Knights and was extensively expanded and embellished after the Grand Master's seat was moved here from Venice in 1309. A fine example of a medieval brick castle, the monastery fell into decay but was carefully restored in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Many conservation techniques that are now considered standard were developed here. After suffering severe damage in World War II, the monastery was restored again, using detailed documentation prepared by earlier restorers.
