Braunau in Rohr Abbey, Benedictine monastery in Rohr in Niederbayern, Germany.

Braunau in Rohr Abbey is a Benedictine monastery in the village of Rohr in Niederbayern, Bavaria, built around a baroque abbey church with one of the most unusual high altars in the region. The monastery complex also houses a secondary school and is set in a rural part of Lower Bavaria.

Adalbert of Rohr founded the house in 1133 as a monastery of Augustinian Canons, not Benedictines, after his wife died childless; Bishop Henry I installed Bruno as first provost that October. Petrus Fries, called its second founder, revived it in the 15th century. Secularization closed it in 1803, and exiled Benedictines from Braunau took over in 1946.

The high altar in the abbey church shows the Assumption of Mary through life-sized figures arranged as if on a stage, a style typical of baroque religious art in Bavaria. This theatrical way of presenting a biblical scene was meant to move the faithful as much as any sermon.

The abbey sits in the center of the village and can be reached on foot from the surrounding area without difficulty. Because a school operates within the complex, some parts of the grounds may not be open to visitors during school hours.

The monks who brought the community back to life after World War II came from Broumov in Bohemia, now part of the Czech Republic, having been expelled from their original monastery. They rebuilt the east wing of the complex to make the site livable again and carried their traditions with them into their new home.
