Abbey of St. Nikola in Passau, Augustinian monastery in Passau, Germany

The Abbey of St. Nikola stands near the confluence of three rivers, featuring medieval architectural elements and a substantial religious complex in Lower Bavaria.

Bishop Altmann of Passau established the monastery in 1067, which received official recognition through a privilege granted by Pope Alexander II in 1072.

The monastery housed workshops for multiple generations of sculptors during the Baroque period, producing artworks between Munich and Vienna.

The religious complex maintains its structural integrity while functioning as the mother house of the German Oratory Sisters in present times.

The abbots of St. Nikola received permission to wear the miter from 1666, marking their elevated status within the religious hierarchy.
