Monastery Church of St. Mary and St. Cyprian

The former monastery church of St. Mary and Cyprian is a Gothic hall church with late Romanesque components in the town of Nienburg an der Saale in the Salzlandkreis district in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany. It belongs to the parish of Nienburg in the Bernburg church district of the Evangelical Church of Anhalt and is used ecumenically. It is a station on the Romanesque Road and is also known as the Nienburg Monastery Church or Nienburg Castle Church.

The Benedictine monastery was first founded in 970 in Thankmarsfelde and moved to Nienburg in 975. The church was consecrated in 1004 and burned down in 1042. Only a remnant of the foundation remains of this building under the southern choir of the present building.
