Wettenhausen Abbey, Medieval abbey in Kammeltal, Germany
The buildings of Wettenhausen Abbey display a combination of Romanesque foundation structures with later Baroque modifications by architect Michael Thumb.
Founded in 1101 by Countess Gertrud of Roggenstein, the monastery functioned as an Imperial Abbey until its secularization in 1803.
The former Imperial Abbey now houses a specialized Gymnasium focused on music and sciences, operated by the Dominican Sisters since 1864.
The abbey complex includes a parish church, educational facilities, and historical structures open for guided tours throughout the year.
During its peak, the abbey governed 56 square kilometers of territory and maintained authority over 5,400 subjects as an independent state.
