Kolberg nunnery
The nunnery Kolberg was a convent of Benedictine nuns in Kolberg in Pomerania .
history
In 1277, Bishop Hermann von Cammin assigned the nuns the facility of the previous collegiate monastery in the old town of Kolberg, and in 1278 he endowed it with property. The first Benedictine women came from the Rühn monastery near Bützow in Mecklenburg . In the following decades, the monastery received extensive property in the area.
In the 15th century the nuns moved to the old Heilig-Geist-Hospital, then to the new Heilig-Geist-Hospital and between 1499 and 1505 they moved back to the first settlement.
Around 1545, as a result of the Reformation , the monastery was converted into a Protestant women's monastery. In 1569 a number of 16 canonesses was set, of which seven should be nobles, six citizens from Kolberg and three from Köslin. The pen burned down in 1630, and again in 1657. In 1698 the monastery wings were rebuilt.
