Abbaye de Schliersee, Benedictine monastery in Schliersee, Germany
The monastery stands between Westenhofen and Hausham, featuring architectural elements from multiple centuries and surrounded by the Bavarian Alps landscape.
Five brothers from the noble Waldecker family established the monastery in 779, choosing a location near Lake Schliersee called Kirchbichl for their settlement.
The religious complex transformed from a Benedictine monastery to a collegiate church in 1260, where canons maintained small farms around the building.
The monastery coordinates are latitude 47.7332 and longitude 11.8647, with the current Saint Sixtus Church marking the location of the 1141 reconstruction.
Documentation from medieval synods and records of abbots' roles in surrounding churches provide detailed insights into Bavarian monastic administration.
