Plankstetten Abbey, Benedictine monastery in Berching, Germany.

Founded in 1129 by Count Ernst of Hirschberg and Bishop Gebhard of Eichstätt, the monastery retains its original Romanesque crypt.
The monastery maintains Benedictine traditions through daily prayers, religious ceremonies, and community engagement within the Bavarian Congregation.
