Benediktinerinnenabtei St. Walburg
Benediktinerinnenabtei St. Walburg, Romanesque abbey and pilgrimage church in Eichstätt, Germany.
The Benedictine abbey stands with stone walls and arches, housing both a monastery for nuns and a church open to visitors.
Founded in 1074, the abbey contains the remains of Saint Walburga, an English nun who came to Germany in 748 to establish monasteries.
The monastery maintains traditional Benedictine practices, with nuns dedicating their lives to prayer, work, and manuscript preservation.
Visitors can attend Sunday Vespers at 5 p.m. in the parish church and explore the grounds during designated public opening hours.
The tomb of Saint Walburga produces a clear liquid known as Walburga's Oil, which flows from October to February each year.
