Kloster Schönthal, Augustinian monastery in Schönthal, Bavaria, Germany.
The monastery complex includes a two-story four-wing structure completed in 1695 and features traditional design elements characteristic of monastic architecture.
Founded between 1250 and 1263, the monastery served initially as a Wilhelmite institution before transitioning to Augustinian Hermits and received patronage from Dukes Otto III.
The monastery church, designed by Wolfgang Dientzenhofer, now functions as the Catholic parish church of St Michael, maintaining religious traditions in the community.
The monastery complex, located at Pater-Grünberger-Platz 3, remains open for visitors who want to explore the architectural heritage and religious structures.
The monastery operated its own brewery, first recorded in 1341, and maintained a hammer works facility documented from 1442 onward.
