Prämonstratenserstift Grobe (Usedom)

Monastery in Usedom, Germany, dating from 1101

Usedom Abbey (German: Kloster Usedom) was a medieval Premonstratensian monastery on the isle of Usedom (Western Pomerania, Germany) near the town of Usedom. It was founded in Grobe and later moved to nearby Pudagla, and is thus also known as Grobe Abbey (German: Kloster Grobe) or Pudagla Abbey (German: Kloster Pudagla) respectively. The abbey was founded by the Pomeranian duke Ratibor I and his wife, Pribislawa, in the course of the conversion of Pomerania to Christianity. The exact foundation date is uncertain, but it is assumed that it was about 1155, after the foundation of Stolpe Abbey in
