Kloster Niedernburg, Benedictine abbey in Passau, Germany.

The Niedernburg monastery features a three-nave Romanesque pillar basilica with Gothic choir and Baroque vaults in its Holy Cross Church.

Founded in 772 by Duke Tassilo III, the monastery gained imperial status in 1010 under Abbess Heilika before becoming part of Passau's prince-bishopric in 1161.

The burial site of Queen Gisela, sister of Emperor Henry II and widow of Hungarian King Stephen, attracts numerous pilgrims from Hungary.

The monastery buildings now house two Gisela schools and a student dormitory, while the church opens occasionally for visitors.

The monastery collected water tolls, market dues, and the Bohemian toll from trade activities in medieval Passau.
