Even from afar, the landmark of the Fontane city of Neuruppin greets you – the St. Trinitatis Monastery Church on Lake Ruppin with its twin towers. In 1246, Gebhard von Arnstein founded a Dominican monastery here – the first Dominican monastery in what would later become the Margraviate of Brandenburg. Construction of the church began at the same time, and it was later expanded with the addition of a hall church. In 1517, the monastery lost its function due to the Reformation and was demolished. The church, however, survived and was extensively restored between 1836 and 1841 according to the plans of the architect Karl Friedrich Schinkel. The approximately 63-meter-high towers were added in 1907 and can be climbed during a night hike. Right next to the city wall, between the church and Lake Ruppin, stands the over 700-year-old Wichmann Linden tree. Legend has it that Father Wichmann, the first prior of the Dominican monastery, is buried here with a treasure. https://www.tourismus-neuruppin.de/kultur-erleben-neuruppin/sehenswertes-neuruppin/112-klosterkirche-st-trinitatis-wichmannlinde-neuruppin
