Old Gatehouse at Preetz Abbey

Highlight • Monument

The former Benedictine convent with its church in Preetz is one of the most important cultural monuments in our region and a gem in the Plön district. It was founded in 1216 by Albrecht von Orlamünde in honor of the Virgin Mary and John the Baptist. Nuns of the Benedictine order, guided by the motto "ora et labora" (pray and work), led the convent to economic, intellectual, and cultural flourishing. Since the Reformation (1542), the convent has been owned by the Schleswig-Holstein knighthood, which transformed it into a women's foundation that still exists today, administered by the abbey council – the provost and prioress.

The Preetz Abbey is located 16 km southeast of Kiel in the Plön district, on the B76 – nestled in the idyllic Holstein Switzerland region.

The grounds of the Preetz Abbey are open to the public at all times – except for the abbey church, which can only be visited with a guided tour.

Preetz Local History Museum

Highlight • Historical Site

The Preetz Local History Museum is located in the small town of Preetz in the Plön district of Schleswig-Holstein. It opened in 1993 on the ground floor of a 19th-century, upper-class house. Johanna Brandt was instrumental in its opening and establishment. The building is owned by the town of Preetz. The museum is run by the "Heimatverein Preetz und Umgebung e.V." (Preetz and Surrounding Area Local History Association). The five exhibition rooms showcase Preetz's history from the early days of settlement to the present day.

Old Schwentine at the Klostermühle in Preetz

Highlight • River

Small, well-kept and attractive park in the middle of Preetz, not far from the monastery with beautiful, old trees. The Schwentine flows on the east side and the Alte Schwentine on the north side, which is also called Mühlenau or Postau. At the northern tip of the park, the Alte Schwentine flows into the Schwentine. At this striking place there is a wooden bench under a tall tree that invites you to take a relaxing break.

This café is a must-visit! The staff is super friendly and welcoming. The food is delicious, serving breakfast, lunch, and homemade cakes and tarts. The garden is a highlight, and the coffee shop is unique. Super cool; we really enjoyed it.
