Geisenfeld Abbey, Benedictine monastery in Geisenfeld, Bavaria.
The monastery complex includes rock foundations, brick ground floors, and a round chapel in late Romanesque architectural style from original construction.
Count Eberhard II and his wife Adelheit founded the monastery in 1030 after losing their children, replacing a previous structure destroyed in 955.
The abbey church displays a 1770 painting depicting the founding family presenting their possessions to the Virgin Mary.
The abbey managed 189 estates across 36 communities by 1752, operating a brewery that produced 20,000 liters of beer annually.
The remaining baroque building's church tower earned recognition as the Cathedral of the Hallertau in the local region.
