The Monastery Buckow (wendisch: Bucowe , Latin Bucovia ) was a Cistercian monastery in Pomerania .
Geographical location
Buckow Monastery was located in the village of Buckow ( Bukowo Morskie ) on Lake Buckow ( Jezioro Bukowo ) in the Schlawe district (today West Pomeranian Voivodeship , Powiat Sławieński ), around ten kilometers southwest of Rügenwalde ( Darłowo ).
history
The foundation was made in 1248 by Duke Swantopolk II of Pomerellen . It was a daughter house of the monastery Dargun (Dargun II) from the filiation of the Branch Morimond over Klosterkamp , Amelungsborn and monastery Doberan .
In 1252 the monastery was moved to Buckow and consecrated in 1253 by the Camminer Bishop Hermann von Gleichen . In 1260 the settlement took place from the Dargun monastery in Mecklenburg . The monastery, which was destroyed several times as a result of its border location, was closed with the introduction of the Reformation in 1535. The last abbot was Heinrich Kresse, who donated the large late Gothic winged altar in the church at the beginning of the 16th century, which is now in the museum in Stolp ( Słupsk ). The monastery complex was located in the immediate vicinity of today's village church Bukowo Morskie . From the Reformation to 1945 this church was a Protestant parish church; The Polish community, who immigrated after 1945, has since served as a Catholic church.
Buildings and plant
The monastery complex no longer exists today.
The church, which was restored around 1889, is a late Gothic brick building, a three-aisled hall with four bays. It has a star vault in the central nave and cross vaults in the side aisles. The short choir with a five-eighth end is twice as wide as the central nave. It also has a star vault. A shrine altar with painted wings from the beginning of the 16th century has been preserved. Under the presbytery there is a crypt, which is unusual for a Cistercian complex . The church has a west tower.
