Kloster Rebdorf, Augustinian monastery in Eichstätt, Germany
Kloster Rebdorf is an Augustinian monastery at the edge of Eichstätt with several historic buildings arranged around a church. The complex extends along Pater-Moser-Straße and includes residential areas, service buildings, and spaces for the community's religious life.
The monastery was founded in 1156 and operated as a religious community for more than 650 years. Its dissolution came in 1806 during a period of major changes in Bavaria.
The monastery served as a religious and economic center for the region over many centuries. The buildings show how monks worked, prayed, and lived here, with everything organized around the church.
The complex is accessible during daylight hours, with the best information about guided tours available from the Eichstätt tourist office. Wear comfortable shoes as there are cobblestones and uneven ground throughout the site.
The monastery was economically self-sufficient and produced its own beer in a separate brewery as well as food on its lands. This self-reliance allowed the complex to remain financially stable for many centuries.
