Collegiate church of Santca Maria in Monte, Leitzkau

The construction of the Abbey began in the 1140s. Archbishop Wichmann consecrated the collegiate church in 1155 in the presence of “Albert the Bear”. It was the seat of Brandenburg bishop Wigger until 1161. In 1564, after secularisation, the Abbey was acquired by Colonel Hilmar von Münchhausen
who converted the building into the style of the Weser Renaissance. Today, the castle is venue to a multitude of cultural events.
