The Monastery Café

in the Cistercian monastery Chorin

You will find our “Monastery” café in Chorin’s ancient and impressive monastery. Our cakes and tarts are freshly baked every day. Naturally, we only use organic ingredients. Where possible we also use Brodowin’s produce for light meals, snacks and soups on offer.
This includes vegetables, fruit, Demeter milk and our excellent cheeses such as the “Brodowiner Bauernkäse” (farm cheese) or the popular “Roter Brodowiner”. How about combining fresh bread from the Demeter bakery “Märkisches Landbrot” (baked with our own grain), with delicious Brodowin butter and our carrot cheese? Or perhaps a freshly prepared soup? These are the tasty delicatessen you can still find in the country side.

Please note: The Monastery Café is located on the grounds of the monastery and can only be visited if the entrance fee of 6.00 € is paid.

Opening hours

From November to April we open our Monastery Café on request (travel arrangements, snacks, complete menu). In November and December we are also open on weekends from 10 a. m. to 6 p. m.
From Easter (April) we are there for you every day from 10 a. m. to 6 p. m. and invite you to stay and enjoy.
We keep you up to date on Facebook as well as via our blog “News from Brodowin” if we offer different opening hours due to events in the monastery.

The former Zisterzienser monastery was built from 1273 onwards. It is viewed as a unique example of North-German, brick Gothic architecture. You can find out more about the monastery’s early Gothic style and its animated history on guided tours and exhibitions. The monastery once also provided a home to Ascanian monks as well as the Margraves of Brandenburg. The monastery’s special atmosphere is enriched by a variety of cultural events. The grounds have also been used for weddings for which a registry office and a beautiful chapel are available.
