Kloster Schienen, Benedictine monastery in Öhningen, Germany

The monastery complex includes a church with three bells, situated on the Höri peninsula near Lake Constance in Baden-Württemberg.

Count Schrot from Schrotzburg established the monastery around 900, which was later converted into a provostry during the reign of Ludwig the Child.

The monastery church maintains its early Romanesque basilica structure from the 11th century, now serving both as a parish church and pilgrimage site.

The former monastery buildings currently house a parish office, with the church remaining accessible for religious services and pilgrimages throughout the year.

The church contains relics of Saints Genesius and Eugenius, brought to Schienen around 800, which sparked increased pilgrimages to this location.
