Fulda monastery, Benedictine monastery in Fulda, Germany.

The Fulda monastery complex encompasses a church, cloister area, St. Luke nursing home, guest house, monastery shop, and a 2000-square-meter garden.

Founded in 744 by Saint Sturm under the direction of Saint Boniface, the monastery became the nucleus from which the city of Fulda developed.

The monastery established a significant library and school under abbots Baugulf and Ratgar, becoming a center of medieval scholarship and manuscript production.

The monastery church maintains regular prayer times, starting with morning lauds at 6 AM, followed by mass at 7:30 AM and additional services throughout the day.

The monastery garden has maintained organic cultivation methods for over half a century, producing herbs, vegetables, and fruits for self-sufficiency.
