Rostock entdecken

The Abbey of the Holy Cross is a Brick Gothic former Cistercian nunnery founded in 1270 by the Danish queen Margaret Sambiria, with its church completed in 1360. After the Reformation it continued as a Lutheran women's convent until 1920; the church now serves as the university church, and the convent buildings house Rostock's Cultural History Museum.

Kunsthalle Rostock is a museum of contemporary art that opened in 1969 beside the Schwanenteich lake in the Reutershagen district, built during the East German period as a dedicated exhibition hall for contemporary painting, sculpture, photography and prints. It has shown work by artists including Georg Baselitz, Gerhard Richter and Robert Rauschenberg.
