Reichenbach Priory, Benedictine monastery in Baiersbronn, Germany.

The monastery buildings include a Lutheran church with restored architectural elements from different construction periods throughout its existence.

Founded in 1082 during the Investiture Controversy, Reichenbach Priory operated under the protection of the Counts of Eberstein until the Reformation period.

The monastery acted as a center for religious education and manuscript production, following the traditions established by the Benedictine order.

Visitors can reach the monastery site by following the designated heritage trail through Baiersbronn, with informational panels explaining its historical features.

The monastery experienced multiple religious transitions, changing from Catholic to Protestant in 1603, briefly returning to Catholic during the Thirty Years War.
