Suben Abbey, Augustinian monastery in Suben, Austria
The medieval religious complex stands near the Austrian-German border, featuring architectural elements from different periods and a prominent central church structure.
The site transformed from a fortress owned by the Counts of Formbach in 1050 to an official monastery in 1126, maintaining religious functions until 1787.
The monastery held extensive collections of religious manuscripts and served as an educational center for the surrounding communities in the Inn region.
The former abbey buildings now function as a correctional facility, and public access to the historical structures requires advance arrangements through local authorities.
Following its dissolution by Emperor Joseph II, the property transferred to Bavarian Field Marshal Prince Karl Philipp von Wrede before becoming a prison in 1865.
