Kloster Seemannshausen

The monastery buildings include preserved west and north wings, which now house a restaurant and a private brewery within their historical walls.

Heinrich Seemann, a cathedral dean from Regensburg, established the monastery in 1255, initially for Wilhelmites before transitioning to Augustinian hermits in 1263.

The monastery held the first chapter of the German Augustinian hermit province in 1264, followed by several important gatherings in 1343, 1420, and 1621.

The current brewery maintains the monastery's beer-making tradition that started in 1355, offering various beer types for visitors to experience.

Emperor Ludwig IV granted the brothers a valuable salt privilege in 1343, which enhanced the monastery's economic standing in medieval Bavaria.
