Heidenheim Abbey, Benedictine monastery in Heidenheim, Germany.

The stone buildings of Heidenheim Abbey include the Minster St. Winibald, a medieval tithe barn, and sections of the original monastery wall.

Founded in 742 by Saint Willibald during the Frankish Empire, Heidenheim Abbey operated as a double monastery for both monks and nuns until 1537.

The renovated abbey complex presents exhibitions documenting the monastery's influence on religious centers and the Christianization of the region.

Located at Ringstraße 8 in Heidenheim, Bavaria, the abbey offers parking facilities directly in front of the main building entrance.

The abbey maintains a monastic garden and features a Romanesque church constructed between 1182 and 1188, with its original baptismal font.
