The monastery of Doberan is a former Cistercian abbey founded in 1171. The church of its monastery is Doberan Cathedral. Until the Reformation, the monastery had extensive properties and was the burial place of the Principality of Mecklenburg. After surviving relatively unscathed from secularisation, the monastery was looted and damaged in 1637 during the Thirty Years' War, and the monastery church was then used as a warehouse. During the French occupation by Napoleon (1806-1813), the remaining buildings suffered further damage and the monastery church was again used as a warehouse. Between 1883 and 1896, the church was restored and the interior design was unified in neo-gothic forms while retaining most of the medieval furniture. Restoration began in 1962 and continued inside the church in 1976.
