Kloostri Manor
Kloostri mõis · German: Padis-Kloster

Cistercians from the monastery of Dynamünde (Latvät k Daugavgriva) near Riga probably had a plan for the construction of a monk monastery in Harju County as early as the 13th century. The location of the monastery was chosen as the riverside site along Padis' then Tallinn-Haapsalu highway shortly before the Harjumaa border. In 1305, a building permit was obtained from Erik Menved, King of Denmark. The building works of the monastery also began immediately, lasting for nearly a century and a half. The monastery was designed at the time as a complex with a courtyard of approximately 30x30 meters, the north side of which was covered by a church with its base poppy warehouses and a crypt serving as a cellar chapel. The southern and eastern wings were planned for the monks' living and economic spaces. The entrance to the courtyard was placed in the central part of the west wing. Before the completion of the said building complex, the monks probably lived in temporary wooden buildings.

Riia lähedal asuva Dünamünde (läti k Daugavgriva ) kloostrist pärinevatel tsistertslastel oli mungakloostri Harjumaale ehitamise plaan tõenäoliselt juba 13. sajandil. Kloostri asukohaks valiti jõeäärne paik Padise tollase Tallinn-Haapsalu maantee ääres veidi enne Harjumaa piiri. 1305. aastal saadi Taani kuningalt Erik Menvedilt ehitusluba. Seejärel algasid kohe ka kloostri rajamistööd, kestes ligi poolteist sajandit. Klooster kavandati tollal ligikaudu 30x30 meetri suuruse sisehooviga kompleksina, mille põhjakülje hõlmas kirik koos selle aluste moonaladude ja keldrikabelina toimiva krüptiga. Lõuna- ja idatiiba olid plaanitud munkade elu- ja majandusruumid. Sissepääs sisehoovi paigutati läänetiiva keskossa. Enne nimetatud hoonekompleksi valmimist elasid mungad arvatavasti ajutistes puithoonetes.
