Rottenbuch Abbey, Augustinian monastery in Rottenbuch, Germany.
The abbey features a crossing transept with a free-standing tower, combining Romanesque architecture with High Baroque interior decorations by Matthäus Günther.
Established in 1073 through a land grant from Duke Welf I of Bavaria, the abbey became a center of papal loyalty during the Investiture Controversy.
The monastery gained prominence as the most influential house of Canons Regular in Germany, positioned along the pilgrimage route to Italy.
The abbey church, located at Sommerkellerweg 5 in Rottenbuch, functions as a parish church and remains open for religious services.
During the 1803 secularization of Bavarian monasteries, the original monastic buildings were demolished and the library contents were sent to a paper mill.
