St. Stephen's Abbey, Benedictine abbey in Augsburg, Germany

Located in Bavaria, St. Stephen's Abbey features Baroque architecture with ornate details throughout its reconstructed buildings and spacious grounds.

Bishop of Augsburg Saint Ulrich established the religious complex in 969, initially creating a residence for Augustinian canonesses until its dissolution in 1803.

The monastery maintains a grammar school on its premises, continuing an educational tradition that began in 1828 under King Ludwig I of Bavaria.

Visitors can find the monastery at Stephansplatz 6 in Augsburg, where monks conduct regular religious services and educational programs.

The original abbey buildings were completely destroyed during World War II in 1944, leading to a full reconstruction of the current structures.
