Stift Urach, Evangelical monastery in Bad Urach, Germany
The stone complex encompasses multiple buildings arranged around a central courtyard, featuring traditional German religious architecture with a dedicated chapel.
Founded in 1477 by Count Eberhard V of Württemberg, the monastery served as a spiritual center for the Brothers of Common Life from the Netherlands.
Between 1560 and 1566, the monastery operated as a printing press for Slovenian and Croatian Bibles under the direction of Primus Truber.
The retreat center contains 29 double rooms, 23 single rooms, and multiple conference spaces for gatherings and spiritual contemplation.
From 1599 to 1793, the monastery building housed the headquarters of the Urach Linen Trading Company, marking a shift from religious to commercial use.
