Klostermarkt — edition 2026

The Klostermarkt Bad Doberan will take place on Saturday, June 6th, and Sunday, June 7th, 2026, on the monastery grounds. Historic craftsmen, jugglers, and merchants will fill the area around the Doberan Minster with a weekend of historic market culture.

On June 6th and 7th, 2026, the Doberan Monastery Association invites you to the historic monastery grounds around the Doberan Minster. Two market days will bring together historic craftsmen, jugglers, and merchants – from the blacksmith to the potter to musicians in period costumes. Tastings, demonstrations, and hands-on activities will complement the market; the brick Gothic backdrop of the Minster lends the event its unique character.

Local Context

Founded in 1171, Doberan Monastery was one of the wealthiest Cistercian monasteries in the Baltic Sea region; its Minster is one of the most important brick Gothic buildings in Northern Germany. Today, the monastery grounds in the Rostock district (Mecklenburg-Vorpommern) attract visitors from all over Germany – the Klostermarkt builds on this cultural-historical tradition.
