Abtei Schweiklberg, Benedictine abbey in Vilshofen an der Donau, Germany

The Schweiklberg Abbey combines Art Nouveau architecture with neo-Baroque elements, standing prominently above the town of Vilshofen an der Donau.

The monastery site dates back to 1642, with the current abbey established in 1904 when Benedictine monks from St. Ottilien acquired the property.

The abbey maintains a library of 40,000 volumes focused on spiritual sciences and operates an Africa museum displaying its missionary work.

The St. Benedict guest house offers 54 beds, three conference rooms, and guided tours that include visits to the Africa museum.

The monastery produces Schweiklberger spirit, a herbal essence used for treating nausea, exhaustion, and muscle care.
