Kornelimünster Abbey, Benedictine monastery in Aachen, Germany.
The abbey complex includes arched doorways, a central aisle, and stained glass windows that illuminate the interior stone architecture.
Founded in 814 by Benedict of Aniane under Emperor Louis the Pious, the monastery received imperial status and biblical relics in the mid-9th century.
The modern structures house eight resident monks who maintain Benedictine traditions while offering spiritual guidance and retreat programs to visitors.
Visitors can explore the abbey Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 11:45 AM and 3:00 PM to 5:45 PM, with modified hours on Saturday.
The former imperial abbey buildings now function as a museum of modern art, creating an intersection between religious heritage and contemporary creativity.
