Fultenbach Abbey, Benedictine monastery in Holzheim, Germany.

The Fultenbach Abbey complex stood in Bavaria, with buildings arranged according to traditional Benedictine architectural patterns near the geographic coordinates 48.4898°N, 10.5747°E.

Bishop Wikterp established the monastery in the eighth century, and the religious institution operated continuously until its dissolution during the 1803 Bavarian secularization.

The monastery maintained a substantial library collection of manuscripts and religious texts, which were later transferred to the Lyceum at Dillingen for preservation.

The original structures of Fultenbach Abbey no longer exist, as the buildings were completely demolished in 1811 following the closure of the religious institution.

The monastery bore dedication to Saint Michael and represented the first documented religious establishment under Bishop Wikterp, the initial recorded Bishop of Augsburg.

Inception: 8 century
