Söflingen Abbey, Monastery and church building in Söflingen district, Ulm, Germany.
The architectural complex includes remnants of the former monastery, including a rectory and confessionary near the central courtyard.
Founded in 1237 as Germany's first Poor Clares nunnery, the monastery received imperial protection and expanded its influence through multiple properties.
The monastery museum displays exhibits of Söflingen's development, featuring detailed models and artifacts from religious communities through centuries.
Visitors can access the remaining structures, examine the baroque architecture, and learn about monastic life through guided presentations.
The abbey maintained independence from Protestant Ulm by claiming Imperial immediacy in 1537, establishing direct authority under the Holy Roman Empire.
