Former monastery and now Landesmuseum
The Dominicans, detectable in Brandenburg since 1267, are said to have been appointed by the margrave to the new city. When in 1286 the Margravial Court on the edge of the New Town was given to them, the long hall choir of the church was probably completed and usable as a free-standing chapel. Excavations have shown that originally a completion as Saalkirche was planned. Until the lease of further land in 1311 through the city, the eastern yoke of a three-aisled hall was executed. West of this Baunaht the hall was completed and vaulted until about 1330/40. From this time, the figurative choral vertex window has been preserved. The choir side tower was added in 1469.

The Brandenburg Cathedral is the mother church of the state of Brandenburg.
In 948 Otto the Great founded the diocese of Brandenburg in the middle of a wetland populated by Slavic tribes. The diocese was lost again through a Slav uprising, but was rebuilt in the 12th century after the last Slav prince Pribislaw Heinrich was baptized and Premonstratensian settled in the present old town. After the death of Pribislaw, the Ascanians became margraves of Brandenburg and the bishop moved to the Margrave on the castle island.
