Schäftlarn Abbey, Premonstratensian monastery in Schäftlarn, Germany.

The monastery buildings display intricate baroque architectural elements, featuring a central church structure with two symmetrical towers and decorated interior spaces.

Founded in 701, the abbey underwent substantial reconstruction between 1702 and 1704 under the direction of Swiss architect Giovanni Antonio Viscardi.

The monastery maintains an active religious community where monks follow Premonstratensian traditions while contributing to regional education and spiritual guidance.

The abbey welcomes visitors for guided tours through its grounds, church, and historical spaces, located 25 kilometers southwest of Munich.

The monastery's architectural design integrates Viscardi's mastery of baroque style with functional spaces required for monastic life and educational activities.
