Gars Abbey, Augustinian monastery in Gars am Inn, Germany
The monastery complex stands along the Inn River, featuring multiple buildings arranged around a central courtyard with Baroque architectural elements and a pilaster church.
Founded in 768 by cleric Boso for Duke Tassilo III of Bavaria, the monastery initially housed Benedictine monks before transitioning to Augustinian canons in 1128.
The monastery contains religious artworks, including a 1430 cast stone Pieta that previously served as the main altar in the church.
The monastery maintains an educational presence through its Gymnasium Gars and teacher training institute, while also operating a regional plant nursery.
During the Kulturkampf period from 1873 to 1894, the monastery population decreased to only three members before later expanding their mission to Brazil.
