Pielenhofen Abbey, Cistercian monastery in Pielenhofen, Germany.
The monastery complex contains multiple structures including a church with twin three-story towers, central transept, and cupola in Baroque architectural style.
Founded in 1240 by the lords of Hohenfels and Ehrenfels, the abbey functioned as a Cistercian nunnery until Bavaria's secularization in 1803.
The church interior displays late Baroque artworks, including a high altar with eight columns and ceiling paintings of the Holy Trinity by Jacob Carl Stauder.
Located at Klosterstraße 12 in Pielenhofen, the former abbey now houses a primary school serving students of the Regensburg Cathedral Choir.
The monastery walls contain sculptures of twelve apostles created by Johann Gebhard from Prüfening Abbey, adding artistic value to its religious significance.
