Wettenhausen Abbey, Medieval abbey in Kammeltal, Germany
Wettenhausen Abbey is a monastery complex in Kammeltal featuring Romanesque foundations with substantial Baroque modifications. The buildings combine historical structures with contemporary educational facilities and an active parish church.
The monastery was founded in 1101 by Countess Gertrud of Roggenstein and became an important independent ecclesiastical state. It lost its independence through secularization in 1803 but continued as an educational and religious institution.
The abbey now houses a secondary school with focus on music and science education run by Dominican Sisters. Visitors can sense how academic life and spiritual tradition continue to shape the character of the complex.
The complex is conveniently located and suitable for visitors interested in history and architecture. It is advisable to check visit options beforehand since the grounds remain in active use as an educational institution.
The Baroque redesign was shaped by architect Michael Thumb, a respected master of his era. His influence remains visible in the refined structure of the complex today.
