Baindt Abbey, Cistercian monastery in Baindt, Baden-Württemberg, Germany

The religious complex stands at 483 meters above sea level in the Ravensburg district, featuring both original medieval structures and later baroque additions.

Founded in 1240 by Conrad of Winterstetten, the abbey received imperial immediacy status in 1376, granting it political autonomy within the Holy Roman Empire.

The abbey church contains preserved medieval altar paintings by the Master of the Darmstadt Passion, representing significant German religious artistry.

The former abbey buildings now serve multiple purposes, with the main church functioning as the local parish church since 1817.

The abbess held jurisdiction over 200 subjects and maintained voting rights in both the Imperial Diet and the Swabian Circle assembly.
