Life punishes whoever comes late. The nuns of St. Augustine had to learn this lesson when their cloister - built only 15 years before - became a victim of the Reformation. In 1531, it was expropriated by the city council and henceforth used for profane purposes such as a poorhouse and prison. Large parts of the complex were destroyed in a fire in 1843, including the cloister's church. Nevertheless parts of the building in late gothic style have remained, serving as a museum for medieval ecclesiastical art. The collection is extraordinary prominent in quality and extent. Numerous gothic altars and church statues are on display here, as well as completely furnished rooms of old Lubeck's merchants' residences. The Passion Altar from 1491, once situated in the Dom (Cathedral), and the St.Anthony-Altar (ca. 1520) alone would be worth visiting the St.-Annen-Museum.
