Oberalteich Abbey, Benedictine monastery in Bogen, Germany.

The former monastery exhibits Baroque architecture with a prominently decorated church dedicated to Saints Peter and Paul in Bavaria.

Count Frederick of Bogen established the monastery in 1100, which underwent major reconstruction after a fire in 1245 under abbots Heimo and Purchard.

The monastery served as a center for religious education and community development until its dissolution during the 1803 secularization of Bavaria.

The former abbey church, now operating as a parish church, contains architectural elements from different periods, including a Baroque high altar from 1693.

The monastery's tombs and monuments were transported to Vilshofen in 1847, where they were integrated into the construction of a dam.
