History

Abbey Church
Abbey Church interior

The abbey was established as Nova Cella on 12 October 1268 by the

Bolesław II Rogatka in turn for his mediation in the duke's conflict with his Piast brother Henry III the White
.

Neuzelle was a filial monastery of the Cistercian

Margraviate of Meissen. A first convent of brothers took residence here in 1281. From about 1300, a monastery complex was laid out, including a Brick Gothic hall church, which soon became the spiritual centre of the region. The monks were granted large estates, up to Fürstenberg am Oder in the north and Szydłów
(Schiedlo) beyond the Oder River in the east.

In 1367, Neuzelle with Lower Lusatia was purchased by the

Protestant Reformation, even after the Lutheran Electorate of Saxony had acquired the Lusatias from the Habsburg Emperor Ferdinand II by the 1635 Peace of Prague. Heavily demolished in the Thirty Years' War, the church was again rebuilt in a Baroque style including rich interior decorations quite unique in Northern Germany
.

By the Final Act of the 1815

Blessed Virgin Mary
pilgrimage church. Today the monastery complex is held by a public foundation run by the State of Brandenburg.

After World War II, Neuzelle was incorporated into the State of Brandenburg from 1947 to 1952 and the Bezirk Frankfurt of East Germany from 1952 to 1990. Since 1990, Neuzelle is again part of Brandenburg.
