Spingiersbach Monastery, Medieval monastery in Bengel, Germany.

The monastery complex features Baroque architecture with a main church, cloisters, and stone buildings surrounded by gardens near the Mosel region.

Founded in 1102 by Archbishop Bruno of Trier, the monastery began as a double monastery for both monks and nuns under the Rule of Saint Augustine.

The monastery maintains records of medieval monastic traditions, documenting the daily routines and religious practices of Augustinian canons through centuries.

The monastery offers guided tours from April to October, with specialized programs focusing on architectural details and religious history of the complex.

In 1137, the monastery received a transfer of residence from Archbishop Albero de Montreuil to establish accommodations for Augustine canonesses.
