Preetz Priory (German : Kloster Preetz) is a former Benedictine nunnery in the town of Preetz, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. It operates today as a collegiate residence for ladies ( Stift ).
The nunnery was founded in 1211 by Graf Albrecht of Orlamünde, nephew of King Valdemar II of Denmark, following a mystical experience which, according to him, happened while he was stalking a deer. After he had followed it into a valley, the deer stood still and he suddenly saw a gleaming cross appear between its antlers. He felt that the site was a holy place which he called the Field of Mary (German : Marienfelde) and to commemorate the vision he founded a nunnery at a location some 2 miles (4 km) away. A monastery on the actual site of the vision was built only in 1260. [1]
Suppressed in the 16th century due to the Protestant Reformation, it became an aristocratic Lutheran women's convent belonging to the Schleswig-Holstein knighthood. It continues in this capacity. [2]
