Lehnin or Kloster Lehnin is a town near Brandenburg outside of Berlin, Germany.
It is best known for its 825-year-old monastery, Lehnin Abbey, which is the oldest monastery in the March of Brandenburg and was founded in 1180 by Otto I, Margrave of Brandenburg.
Today, this well-maintained area includes the renovated monastery church and other Gothic buildings.
