Osterhofen Abbey, Premonstratensian monastery in Altenmarkt, Bavaria, Germany
The church of Osterhofen Abbey features a 22-meter-high nave adorned with intricate frescoes and decorative elements created by the Asam brothers.
Founded in 1004 by Duke Henry V of Bavaria and his wife Luitgard, the monastery transferred to the Premonstratensian order in 1128 until its dissolution in 1783.
The monastery church displays frescoes by Cosmas Damian Asam and sculptures by Egid Quirin Asam, representing Baroque religious artistry in Bavaria.
The Sisters of Loreto maintain a girls' secondary school within the former monastery buildings, continuing its educational mission since 1858.
The high altar presents Saint Margaret in an unusual scene with a statue of Venus, demonstrating the integration of pagan elements in religious art.
