Aufhausen Priory, Benedictine monastery in Aufhausen near Regensburg, Germany.

The main building of Aufhausen Priory features traditional Bavarian religious architecture with white walls and structured geometric patterns on its facade.

Founded in 1667 as an Oratorian community by priest Johann Georg Seidenbusch, the monastery remained active through Bavaria's secularization period of 1802.

The monastery maintains Benedictine traditions of communal living, where religious members engage in daily prayers, agricultural work, and educational activities.

Visitors can access the monastery grounds during daylight hours and observe the preserved architectural elements that earned its designation as a heritage monument.

The monastery transformed into the Royal Nerian Institute during the 1800s, continuing its religious functions while other institutions faced closure.
