Biburg Abbey, Benedictine monastery in Biburg, Germany.

The monastic complex stands at the center of Biburg, featuring stone buildings that exemplify medieval religious architecture from the 12th century.

Founded in 1132 by Konrad and Arbo von Sittling-Biburg, the monastery received their castle as a donation from the Bishop of Bamberg.

The monastery operated as a religious center for both men and women until 1258, when the nunnery section burned down.

Located at coordinates 48.7922 latitude and 11.8566 longitude, the abbey buildings now belong to the Bavarian State following secularization in 1808.

The Knights Hospitaller managed the monastery from 1781 until its final transition to state ownership, marking its last religious administration period.

Inception: 12 century
