Irsee Abbey, Benedictine monastery in Irsee, Germany
The massive stone buildings of Irsee Abbey, constructed in the late 17th century, feature a church and multiple wings surrounding an inner courtyard.
Established in 1182 by Margrave Heinrich von Ursin-Ronsberg, the monastery relocated from Burg Ursin to a valley for better water access.
The monastery transformed into an educational center in 1984, hosting conferences, training sessions, and the annual Irseer Pegasus writers' conference.
Visitors can explore the restored abbey complex, which includes meeting rooms, accommodation facilities, and a restaurant serving regional Bavarian dishes.
The abbey maintained a collection of scientific instruments and natural history specimens during the 18th century, marking it as a center for research.
