St. Mary's Abbey, Fulda

The International Gothic style building features stone walls, pointed arches, and a central chapel dedicated to the Virgin Mary.

Established in 1626, St. Mary's Abbey emerged as a new religious institution during the Counter-Reformation period in the Fulda region.

The abbey maintains a collection of religious manuscripts and artifacts that document the development of Benedictine traditions in central Germany.

Visitors can access the abbey grounds through the main entrance on Nonnengasse street, with guided tours available during weekday afternoons.

The monastery houses a specialized workshop where nuns continue the centuries-old practice of creating ecclesiastical embroidery and textile arts.
