Kloster Untermarchtal, Baroque monastery in Untermarchtal, Germany.
Kloster Untermarchtal is a Baroque monastery in Upper Swabia featuring an expansive complex of interconnected religious and residential buildings. The structures showcase regional architectural styles with carefully proportioned facades and open courtyards that define the layout.
The complex began as a castle built between 1573 and 1576 by Johann Ulrich Späth von Zwiefalten in the regional nobility's tradition. It was later transformed into a monastery and became an important religious community center.
In 1891, the Sisters of Charity of Saint Vincent de Paul relocated their motherhouse from Schwäbisch Gmünd to this Upper Swabian location.
The site offers visitors several areas to explore with straightforward access to the main buildings and courtyards. It is helpful to check in advance for visiting hours and any seasonal closures that might affect your visit.
The monastery houses an organ installed in 1975, featuring 3,000 pipes and 51 registers distributed across three manuals and pedals.
