Pfarrkirche, Benedictine abbey in Aura an der Saale, Germany
The Pfarrkirche stands as a medieval religious complex featuring stone walls, a monastery layout, and traditional Romanesque architectural elements within Bavaria's landscape.
Otto of Bamberg established this religious institution in 1108, which operated as a Benedictine monastery until its dissolution in 1564 during the period of reforms.
The monastery walls and cloister passages demonstrate the architectural principles of medieval monastic design, reflecting the religious practices of early German settlements.
