The Doberan Minster is the main Lutheran church of Bad Doberan in Mecklenburg, Germany.

It is the remaining part of Doberan Abbey, a former Cistercian monastery dedicated in 1368. The first abbey in Mecklenburg, founded in 1171, which was also used as the burial site for the regional rulers, became important both politically and historically. Through the activities of its inhabitants, the abbey greatly contributed to the cultural and economic development
