Attel Abbey, Benedictine monastery in Wasserburg am Inn, Germany

The monastery complex includes multiple buildings and a church situated near the Inn River in the Bavarian countryside of southern Germany.

Count Arnold of Diessen-Andechs established the monastery in 1037, dedicating it to the Virgin Mary and Saint Michael as a center of religious life.

The monastery buildings reflect architectural changes from Gothic foundations through Baroque modifications, particularly following the reconstruction after the 1744 fire.

The former abbey buildings now function as a residential facility, continuing a tradition of community service that began in 1874 as a home for disabled men.

During its early period, the monastery maintained separate communities for both male and female religious members, alongside a house of the Teutonic Knights.
