Neustadt am Main Abbey

The monastery sits along the banks of the Main River, featuring architectural elements that represent various periods of German religious construction.

Founded in the 8th century, the monastery relocated multiple times before establishing its permanent location near the mouth of Silberlochbach in 742.

The monastery maintained an educational program established by Charlemagne in 769, allowing students from different backgrounds to pursue academic studies.

Archaeological remnants of the original church and monastery structures remain accessible for research and educational purposes at the historical site.

The monastery's extensive library collection, dissolved in 1803, now resides within the Abtei Maria Laach, preserving centuries of ecclesiastical documentation.
