Kloster Sankt Andrä Freising, Benedictine monastery in Freising, Germany

The monastery stands on Domberg hill as the second largest religious structure in Freising, next to the Prince-Bishop's Residence.

Founded before 720 AD by priest Hugibert as Hugibertsmünster, the monastery received land donations and a church dedicated to Saint Andrew around 770.

Twenty-one canons resided at Saint Andrew, participating in liturgical functions at Freising Cathedral and maintaining spiritual traditions in the community.

The former archive building of Sankt Andrä remains accessible, located southwest of the current Diocesan Museum of Freising.

The Andreas Fountain from 1697 marks the location where the monastery stood before its demolition in 1803 under Elector Maximilian IV Joseph.
