Benediktinerpriorat Oberried

The monastery features stone buildings arranged around a central courtyard, with a chapel dedicated to Mary situated in the complex grounds.

Founded in 1237 as a Cistercian nunnery, the site transformed into a Benedictine priory in 1725 under the supervision of St. Blasien Abbey.

The monastery maintains records of medieval manuscripts written by Brother Conrad Sturn, documenting the early 14th-century history of the religious community.

The monastery's chapel, Maria Königin, constructed between 1964 and 1966, remains accessible for religious services and personal reflection.

Two major fires, one in the late 14th century and another in 1412, led to substantial reconstruction efforts that shaped the monastery's current architecture.
