Windberg Abbey, Premonstratensian monastery in Windberg, Germany
The abbey church features a three-aisled basilica with a transept, combining elements from the 12th century with later architectural modifications and additions.
Count Albert I of Bogen founded the monastery between 1121 and 1146, with assistance from Bishop Otto of Bamberg on the former seat of Bogen counts.
The church interior contains a Baroque high altar from 1735, decorated with a Virgin statue from 1650 and stucco work by Mathias Obermayr.
The monastery maintains an active community of Premonstratensian canons who continue religious services and maintain the historical buildings.
After dissolution in 1803, parts of the monastery buildings served as a brewery from 1835 until Dutch Premonstratensians revived the community in 1923.
