Beuron Archabbey, Benedictine archabbey in Beuron, Germany
The Beuron archabbey stands on an elevated area near the Danube River, featuring baroque architecture with surrounding galleries and a prominent tower.
Originally founded in 1080 as an Augustinian monastery, the complex transformed into a Benedictine archabbey in 1863 under the guidance of Maurus Wolter.
The monastery maintains Germany's largest monastic library, containing 405,000 works focused on theology, Benedictine history, and medieval art history.
Visitors can participate in guided tours of the abbey complex, exploring the church, library, and grounds while learning about Benedictine traditions.
The Beuron singing school, developed by monks Benedikt Sauter and Dominicus Johner, influenced the evolution of Gregorian chant in German-speaking regions.
