Niederaltaich Abbey, Benedictine abbey in Niederalteich, Germany

The abbey features a monastery church with a central tower standing next to residential buildings along the Danube River in Bavaria.

Duke Odilo of Bavaria founded Niederaltaich Abbey in 741, establishing it as a center for monastic life with monks from Reichenau Abbey.

The monastery maintains both Roman Catholic and Byzantine Catholic liturgical traditions, representing a dual-rite religious practice within its walls.

Visitors can access the abbey church daily, with guided tours available through advance reservations at the monastery reception desk.

The first abbot, Eberswind, created the Lex Baiuvariorum, the initial legal code for the Bavarian people in the 8th century.
