Padise Abbey is a former Cistercian monastery in Padise, in Harju County, Estonia. Monks settled here in 1310, and stone construction began in 1317. The monastery burned in 1343 during the St. George's Night Uprising, when 28 people were killed. Rebuilding began after 1370, and major works, including the vaulting of the church roof, were complete by 1445. The main building was consecrated in 1448.
The monastery was dissolved in 1559 and converted into a fortress. The fortress changed hands between the Swedes and the Russians in 1561, 1576 and 1580. In 1622 the estates were given to Thomas Ramm.
A lightning fire in 1766 destroyed much of the complex, and its stone was reused for a manor house. The ruins were stabilized in the 1930s. After a renovation, the abbey reopened to visitors in May 2020 and operates as a museum.
