Kloster Fürstenzell, Baroque Cistercian abbey in Fürstenzell, Germany.
The monastery buildings surround an inner courtyard with a church featuring two towers, ornate frescoes, and detailed stucco decorations throughout the complex.
Founded in 1274 by Magister Hartwig, a canon of Passau, the abbey operated until 1803 when it was dissolved during the secularization of Bavaria.
The ceiling paintings by Bartolomeo Altomonte and woodwork by Joseph Deutschmann in the Fürstensaal display religious and allegorical motifs from the 18th century.
The former monastery now houses educational facilities, with parts of the complex remaining accessible through guided tours arranged by local authorities.
The church earned the name 'Cathedral of the Rottal' due to its substantial dimensions and architectural significance in the regional landscape.
