Reichskloster Klingenmünster, Benedictine monastery in Klingenmünster, Germany.
The former Reichskloster Klingenmünster contains stone walls and architectural elements from different construction periods spanning several centuries of religious architecture.
Founded before 780, the monastery experienced a devastating fire around 840 that destroyed its buildings and documents, leading to a request for reconstruction funds.
The monastery functioned as an educational center where monks like Gottschalk received training before serving in the imperial chancellery of Henry IV.
The remaining church structure now serves as the parish church of St Michael, offering regular religious services to the local community.
The monastery transformed from a Benedictine abbey into a secular collegiate foundation in 1490 when only four members remained in the community.
