Bebenhausen, Medieval monastery complex in Tübingen, Germany.
The Bebenhausen complex features a monastery church, three concentric walls, and multiple medieval buildings spread across 13.4 square kilometers of land.
Count Rudolf of Tübingen established the monastery in 1185, which transformed from a Premonstratensian order into a Cistercian abbey by 1187.
The former abbey buildings now function as a museum, presenting historical architectural elements and exhibitions about monastic life and royal residence periods.
Visitors can reach Bebenhausen via bus lines 826 and 828 from Tübingen or Stuttgart, with designated parking areas located at the village entrance.
The monastery complex served as the parliament building of Württemberg-Hohenzollern from 1946 to 1952, with monks' cells repurposed as legislative offices.
