Rott Abbey, Benedictine monastery in Rott am Inn, Germany.
Rott Abbey is a stone complex located along the Rott River that includes medieval cloisters, chapels, and residential quarters arranged according to Benedictine principles. The buildings are organized around central courtyards with spaces dedicated to both community life and prayer.
Count Kuno founded the monastery in 1001 and dedicated it to Saints Marinus and Anianus. The complex was dissolved during Bavaria's secularization in 1803, ending centuries of monastic life on the site.
The church displays a blend of medieval and Baroque styles that becomes apparent when entering. The spaces feel like a testament to the craftsmanship of different periods, each leaving its mark on the buildings.
The site is located in the Bavarian town of Rott am Inn and can be explored on foot. Informational displays at the location explain the history and help you understand the different areas of the complex.
The high altar inside the church features carved details and craftsmanship that are uncommon in the region. This artwork comes from the period when the monastery was at its height.
