Polling Abbey, Gothic abbey in Polling, Germany
The abbey features architectural elements from Gothic design, including pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and large stone walls stretching across the premises.
Founded around 750, initially as a Benedictine monastery by the Huosi noble family, the abbey underwent transformation into an Augustinian canons foundation in the 12th century.
The late Gothic abbey church contains early Baroque stucco work created by Georg Schmuzer and houses pipe organs constructed by Simon Hayl in the 1620s.
The library section of Polling Abbey opens to visitors through appointments arranged with the Verein der Freunde des Pollinger Bibliotheksaals organization.
The monastery buildings experienced substantial demolition between 1805 and 1807, with remaining structures later acquired by Dominican sisters and converted into a hospice.
