St. George's Abbey, Benedictine monastery in Isny im Allgäu, Germany

The abbey church features baroque architecture with an onion dome, elaborate Rococo interiors, and stands prominently at Kirchplatz in the town center.

Founded in 1096 by the Counts of Altshausen-Veringen, the abbey received papal confirmation from Pope Paschal II in 1106 and became an Imperial abbey in 1781.

The monastery influenced the development of Isny, contributing to its growth from a market town to a municipality with full rights by 1235.

Located at Kirchplatz 2, the abbey opens daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM and welcomes visitors interested in religious architecture and German history.

The current church structure, designed by architect Giulio Barbieri between 1660 and 1666, replaced earlier buildings destroyed by fires in 1284 and 1631.
