Vornbach Abbey, Benedictine monastery in Neuhaus am Inn, Germany
Vornbach Abbey is a former Benedictine monastery along the Inn River featuring stone walls and traditional Bavarian architecture. The grounds are surrounded by extensive gardens and an old tree park with a natural pond.
The monastery was founded in 1094 by Count Ekkebert of Formbach and his wife Mathilde and served as an important regional center for centuries. It was dissolved during Bavaria's secularization in 1803.
The monastery preserves its religious identity through regular Catholic services and draws people seeking spiritual renewal. It continues to serve as a place for contemplation and gatherings for believers from the surrounding region.
The grounds are located at Klosterlände 1 in Neuhaus am Inn and are primarily open to the public during special events. Check ahead to learn when the gardens are accessible, as opening hours are limited.
The tree park on the grounds contains a network of natural streams and ponds that creates an unusual ecosystem within this river landscape. These water systems shape the character of the place and make it a special natural space.
