Weingarten Abbey, Benedictine monastery in Weingarten, Germany
The monastery complex includes Saint Martin's Church, constructed between 1715 and 1724 under architect Donato Giuseppe Frisoni on Martinsberg hill.
Founded around 935 as a nunnery, the monastery received independence status in 1274 and controlled territories spanning 306 square kilometers until 1803.
The monastery houses the Gabler organ, constructed between 1737 and 1750, recognized as a leading musical instrument in southern Germany.
The former abbey buildings currently accommodate a monastery wing, the Pedagogical University of Weingarten, and the Academy of Rottenburg-Stuttgart Diocese.
The monastery maintains the Precious Blood relic tradition through an annual pilgrimage called Blutritt, involving numerous participants on horseback.
