Baumburg Abbey, Augustinian monastery in Altenmarkt, Germany.
The monumental Baumburg Abbey stands on elevated ground, featuring a Baroque church with white walls and twin towers rising against the Bavarian landscape.
Count Berengar II of Sulzbach established Baumburg Abbey in 1107 after the death of his wife Adelheid, bringing Augustinian canons from Berchtesgaden Provostry.
The abbey's church of St. Margareta, built in 1755, contains detailed Rococo decorations, stucco filigrees, and extensive frescoes throughout its interior.
Visitors can access the abbey's grounds daily, while the church opens for regular services and guided tours are available through the local tourism office.
The monastery's brewery, dating from 1612, continues to produce beer using traditional methods, making it one of Bavaria's oldest operating breweries.
