Benediktbeuern Abbey, Benedictine monastery in Bavaria, Germany
The stone buildings of Benediktbeuern Abbey extend across 64 kilometers south of Munich, near the Kochelsee lake in Upper Bavaria.
Founded in 739 by members of the Huosi noble clan, the monastery endured multiple fires and reconstructions throughout its thousand-year history.
The monastery holds special recognition as the original location where scholars discovered the Carmina Burana manuscript collection in 1803.
The Salesians of Don Bosco maintain this religious center, which includes conference facilities, concert venues, and accommodations for visitors.
The monastery houses a Centre for Environment and Culture that provides educational programs focused on environmental protection and natural heritage.
