Braunau in Rohr Abbey
Braunau in Rohr Abbey, Benedictine monastery in Rohr in Niederbayern, Germany.
The monastery complex includes an abbey church with a three-dimensional sculptural high altar depicting the Assumption of the Virgin Mary through detailed figures.
Founded in 1133 by Adalbert of Rohr, the monastery experienced dissolution in 1803 during German secularization before Benedictine monks revived it after World War II.
The abbey's high altar, created between 1722 and 1723 by Egid Quirin Asam, represents religious art through theatrical sculptural arrangements of biblical scenes.
Located at coordinates 48.768889 latitude and 11.966944 longitude, the monastery maintains a secondary school within its premises for educational purposes.
The east wing of the monastery transformed from parish offices to accommodate exiled German Benedictine monks from Broumov, Czech Republic after World War II.
