Langheim Abbey, Cistercian monastery in Klosterlangheim, Bavaria, Germany.

Built in 1132, Langheim Abbey stands as a stone complex with traditional Cistercian architectural elements in the Upper Franconia region of Bavaria.

The monastery received support from bishops and nobility, enabling it to manage several parishes until Swedish forces caused extensive damage during the Thirty Years' War.

Langheim Abbey functioned as a center of agricultural innovation and manuscript production, influencing the development of surrounding communities through its practices.

The monastery site contains structural elements integrated into the Klosterlangheim town center, making it accessible for architectural study and historical research.

A catastrophic fire in 1802 led to the dispersal of forty-nine monks across different locations, marking the end of the active monastic community.
