Kloster Holzkirchen, Benedictine monastery in Holzkirchen, Germany.
The monastery complex includes three sides enclosed by walls, with the Aalbach stream bordering its fourth side, creating a protected religious enclosure.
Founded in 768 under the name Holtzchiricha and given to Charlemagne, the monastery maintained a school with 18 documented scholars in the 10th century.
The monastery church, constructed between 1728 and 1730 under Balthasar Neumann's direction, represents significant Baroque architectural elements of Bavaria.
The property, vacant since 1995, reopened in 2003 as the Benediktushof, an interfaith seminar and conference facility open to visitors.
The monastery's mill site remains visible across the Aalbach stream, near the church and prelate building, preserving its medieval layout.
