Scots Monastery, Benedictine monastery in Regensburg, Germany
The Scots Monastery features a three-aisled basilica design with three apses, two eastern towers, and a transept at the western end.
Irish missionaries established the monastery in the 11th century, and Scottish monks later assumed control following a papal bull in 1577.
The north portal exhibits intricate sculptural work divided into three horizontal and vertical sections, displaying Christ and the twelve apostles.
The monastery contains a gallery spanning three aisles that houses an organ and remains open for guided tours throughout the year.
The building survived the Napoleonic period without dissolution and maintained its monastic community until 1862 when the Bavarian government acquired it.
