Traunkirchen monastery, Benedictine monastery in Traunkirchen, Austria
The monastery complex stands at Klosterplatz 1, featuring a church with Late Baroque decorations and a cemetery within its extensive grounds at 47°50'44.9"N latitude.
Founded in 1632, the monastery functioned as a Benedictine nunnery until 1573 when Protestant influence led to its closure before Jesuits from Passau took control.
The monastery houses the Handarbeits Museum, displaying regional handicrafts and traditional artifacts that represent Upper Austrian cultural heritage through the centuries.
The former monastery contains multiple sections dedicated to different purposes, including parish rooms, a chancellery, and spaces for cultural associations.
The church interior contains a remarkable fisherman's pulpit and the Altar of St. John of Nepomuk, both exemplifying late Baroque craftsmanship.
