Benediktinerkloster Heilig Kreuz
Benediktinerkloster Heilig Kreuz, Benedictine monastery in Donauwörth, Germany.
The monastery complex includes a church with Rococo architectural elements, situated at the highest point within the city walls of Donauwörth.
Founded in 1040 as a convent for nuns, the monastery received a fragment of the True Cross as a founding gift from Constantinople.
The monastery church features ornate frescos painted by Jacob Carl Stauder in 1720 and stucco work created by Franz Schmuzer in 1719.
The monastery church remains active as a parish church, with special services held during the Feast of the Exaltation of the Cross on September 14.
Napoleon Bonaparte stayed in the monastery premises during the Fifth Coalition War in 1809, issuing his first campaign orders from this location.
