Neresheim Abbey, Benedictine abbey in Neresheim, Germany
The monastery sits on a hill overlooking the town, with its baroque church featuring seven domes designed by architect Balthasar Neumann.
Founded in 1095 as a house of Augustinian Canons, the abbey transformed into a Benedictine monastery in 1106 under Hartmann I of Dillingen.
The abbey church displays extensive ceiling frescoes by Martin Knoller depicting scenes from the Life of Christ across multiple domes.
