Arendsee Monastery was founded in the 12th century as a Benedictine monastery and experienced its heyday in the 15th century, when it housed approximately 70 nuns. The daily routine was strictly regulated and consisted of prayer, work, and the administration of property. The nuns also maintained a monastery school and cared for the sick. In 1540, the monastery was dissolved and converted into a women's convent and an electoral domain.
