Klosterkirche Elchingen, Benedictine church building in Oberelchingen, Germany
The church displays a triple-nave basilica structure stretching 60 meters in length with pillars constructed according to Hirsau architectural principles.
The monastery, established before 1120 near the Danube by Count Adalbert von Ravenstein, relocated to its current hilltop position following a fire.
The interior features ceiling frescoes and altar paintings by court painter Januarius Zick, executed during the 1770s baroque transformation period.
The church remains accessible to visitors daily from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, except during religious service times.
The annual main celebration includes a procession following a historically determined path around the former monastery walls on the third Sunday after Pentecost.
