St. Ottilien Archabbey, Benedictine monastery in Eresing, Germany.
The St. Ottilien complex includes an abbey church with a 75-meter octagonal spire, agricultural facilities, workshops, and extensive gardens spanning across the Bavarian countryside.
Founded in 1887 by Andreas Amrhein, the monastery gained archabbey status in 1914 and became the motherhouse of the St. Ottilien Congregation within the Benedictine Confederation.
The monastery maintains a mission museum in an Art Nouveau sacristy, displaying artifacts and documents from its missionary work in South Africa, Korea, and China.
The monastery operates a publishing house, retreat facilities, guest accommodations, and educational institutions including the Rhabanus-Maurus-Gymnasium secondary school.
From 1945 to 1948, the monastery served as a Displaced Persons camp for 5,000 concentration camp survivors, with 450 babies born during this period.
