Rottenmünster Abbey, Cistercian monastery in Rottweil, Germany.
The stone buildings of Rottenmünster Abbey form a collection of religious structures with a central courtyard and Gothic architectural elements throughout the complex.
Founded in 1201, the monastery gained imperial status in 1237 when Emperor Frederick II placed it under his protection and granted special privileges.
The monastery played an educational role in medieval times, with nuns maintaining manuscripts and teaching local children about religious practices and basic literacy.
The former abbey buildings now house the Vinzenz von Paul Hospital, continuing a tradition of community service through medical care and mental health treatment.
At its peak in the late 14th century, the monastery supported a community of 100 nuns, making it one of the largest female religious communities in the region.
