Münsterschwarzach Abbey

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.

Visitors can access the monastery grounds, attend religious services, purchase products from the bakery, or stay at the guesthouse for spiritual retreats.

The monastery operates its own agricultural enterprise, producing vegetables and operating a butchery that specializes in salami production.
