Dominican Convent, Religious convent in Regensburg, Germany

The Dominican Convent stands as a stone structure within the medieval district of Regensburg, featuring Gothic architectural elements and traditional monastic design patterns.

The convent was established in 1233 as Holy Cross Monastery and continued its operations through the period of Bavarian secularization in the early 1800s.

The convent preserves an illuminated manuscript from 1267, known as the Regensburg Lectionary, which resides in the Keble College library at Oxford.

The religious institution maintains a girls' school that was founded in 1803 and continues to provide education to students in the present day.

Mother Maria Benedicta Bauer's 1853 mission led to the creation of twelve Dominican congregations across America, including communities in Adrian and Racine.
