Territorial Abbey of Wettingen-Mehrerau
Territorial Abbey of Wettingen-Mehrerau, Romanesque territorial abbey in Bregenz, Austria
The Territorial Abbey of Wettingen-Mehrerau stands on the outskirts of Bregenz, featuring a cathedral and multiple monastic buildings constructed between 1774 and 1781.
Saint Columbanus established the initial monastery at Mehrerau in 611 after his expulsion from Luxeuil, introducing monastic traditions to the region.
The abbey maintains extensive educational programs and serves as a center for Cistercian spirituality, contributing to religious education in Vorarlberg.
The complex contains multiple buildings open to visitors, including a church where regular Catholic services take place throughout the week.
During the Thirty Years' War, the abbey provided shelter to individuals from Germany and Switzerland who faced religious persecution in their homelands.
