Stift Ranshofen, Augustinian monastery in Braunau am Inn, Austria

The monastery complex features a white church with a red-roofed tower perched on an elevated position overlooking the Ranshofen district.

Duke Henry IX of Bavaria established the monastery in 1125, transforming a former ducal estate and royal palace dating back to 788.

The parish church contains six side altars decorated with detailed acanthus ornaments, forming what became known as the Street of Acanthus.

The church welcomes visitors daily from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM during winter months and extends hours until 6:00 PM from June through October.

The monastery underwent a transformation into a secular castle following its dissolution in 1811, leading to multiple ownership changes throughout subsequent centuries.
