Kloster Weitenau, Benedictine monastery in Steinen, Germany

The monastery complex consists of six buildings, including a main structure and a bell tower situated in Baden-Württemberg's countryside.

First documented in 1100, the monastery belonged to the Freiherren von Wart before being transferred to the monastery of St. Blasien.

The monastery church, dedicated to Saint Gangolf, underwent late Gothic renovations after fire damage in the 12th century.

The former monastery buildings now function as a specialized clinic for drug and alcohol therapy, operating since 1971.

The bell tower originally contained seven bells, but the last two were removed in 1901, leaving it completely empty.
