Gengenbach Abbey, Benedictine abbey in Gengenbach, Germany.
The monastic complex stands among gardens and courtyards, featuring architectural elements from Gothic, Baroque, and neo-Romanesque periods.
Founded in 725 by Saint Pirmin and Rothard van de Argengau, the abbey maintained strong connections with the Carolingian dynasty throughout its early years.
The abbey established a Latin school and produced numerous scholarly works, contributing to the educational development of the Baden-Württemberg region.
Visitors can examine the preserved structures daily, with guided tours available that explain the architectural evolution from the 8th to 19th centuries.
An 18th-century pipe organ casing from the former abbey church remains on display at the Augustiner Museum in Freiburg im Breisgau.
