Wiblingen Abbey, Benedictine monastery in Wiblingen, Germany.
The monastery complex features a grand church and a north wing containing a library adorned with intricate Rococo decorations and frescoes.
Founded in 1093 by counts Hartmann and Otto von Kirchberg, the monastery served as a center for Benedictine monks from St. Blaise's Abbey.
The library stands as a representation of 18th-century craftsmanship, displaying detailed wooden sculptures, ornate ceiling paintings, and decorative elements.
The monastery buildings currently house departments of the University of Ulm's medical faculty while remaining open for guided tours.
During the Thirty Years' War, monks concealed a Holy Cross relic behind a wall, which remained hidden until its rediscovery years later.
