About the project

New life in medieval walls I – Heiligengrabe

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

You and your team will be staying on the premise of the monastery Heiligengrabe, which was founded in 1287 and remains the only fully preserved Zisterzienser monastery in Brandenburg. The former distillery, the former sheep stable, a settler home and a former administration building have been restored by ijgd volunteers, so it can be used as a seminar location. The project gives you the opportunity to experience the monastery as a spiritual place, a memorial and a cultural place. This year you and your team will be able to continue the work which was started in the last couple of years: painting the settler home, works on the brick wall and the outside area (building trails and paths), loam constructions etc. This camp is partly funded by the Deutsch-Französische Jugendwerk (Franco-German Youth Office).

🏠 Accommodation on site

You will stay in the seminar building of Heiligengrabe. You will cook together.

📍 About the location

Heiligengrabe is surrounded by nature and there are plenty of free time activities on the premise of the monastery and the area close by. You can also visit Nueruppin, Schwerin and the metropolis of Berlin (100km) on the weekends.
