Weissenau Abbey, Former Premonstratensian monastery in Ravensburg, Germany
The monastery exhibits substantial baroque architecture with ornate details throughout its main buildings, church, and former convent structures.
Founded in 1145 by Gebizo of Ravensburg and his sister Luitgarde, the abbey received imperial protection from Emperor Frederick I in 1164.
The abbey contains a relic of the Precious Blood, donated by Emperor Rudolf I, which generated pilgrimages and processions until 1783.
The central buildings of the former abbey now function as a psychiatric hospital, while the church continues to operate for religious services.
Architect Franz Beer designed the current baroque structure in 1708, incorporating detailed stucco work in the Festsaal event space.
