Kloster

The most northerly place on the island of Hiddensee, Kloster, grew up around a monastery (kloster) founded here in 1297, when the island belonged to Denmark. Only a single arched doorway of the monastery survives. In the old churchyard of the monastery can be seen the grave of the dramatist Gerhart Hauptmann (1862-1946), who frequently spent his holidays on Hiddensee.
