Dobrilugk Monastery (Dobraluca) was a Cistercian abbey in Lower Lusatia in the area of today's Doberlug-Kirchhain. The monastery in Dobrilugk was founded by a son of Margrave Konrad of Meissen, Dietrich von Landsberg, in 1165. The monastery church from the beginning of the 13th century can still be admired today. Alongside the churches in Lehnin and Chorin, it is one of the most imposing and important brick buildings from this period. Restorations and remodelling were carried out in 1905/1906, resulting in a mixture of medieval and baroque design elements. Only part of the south wing of the monastery buildings remains, Doberlug Kirchhain Monastery, Doberlug Kirchhain, Brandenburg, Germany, Europe
