Münsterschwarzach Abbey, Benedictine monastery in Schwarzach am Main, Germany
The monastery complex features four distinctive towers and encompasses various facilities including workshops, a press, and agricultural operations spanning extensive grounds.
Founded in 788 as a female monastery, the site transformed into a Benedictine establishment in 877 and underwent multiple reconstructions following fires and wars.
The monastery maintains traditional Benedictine practices through daily prayer schedules, while operating educational programs for 800 students in their secondary school.
