Hohenwart Abbey, Benedictine monastery in Hohenwart, Germany.

The Hohenwart Abbey consists of multiple structures including St. Peter's Chapel, a Romanesque-Gothic cloister, and the Bl. Richildis Chapel located in Bavaria.

Count Ortolf and his sister Wiltrudis, the last members of the Rapotonen noble family, established the Benedictine nunnery in 1074 from the monastery at Andechs.

The monastery transformed into a home for people with disabilities in 1878 when Dr. Johann Wagner purchased the buildings for the Franciscan Sisters of Dillingen.

The monastery complex maintains several preserved structures at Richildisstraße 13, where visitors can observe different architectural styles from multiple periods.

The abbey pharmacy contains a stucco figure from 1739 depicting Christ as an apothecary, representing a rare artistic representation in religious architecture.
