Collegiate Monastery of Our Lady in the Old Chapel, Romanesque monastery in Regensburg, Germany.

The Collegiate Monastery features a grand stone exterior with rounded arches and a tower that rises above the surrounding buildings in central Regensburg.

Emperor Henry II and his wife Kunigunde established the monastery in 1002 on the site of a former Roman temple dedicated to the goddess Juno.

The interior displays German artisanship through ceiling frescoes and gilded decorations created by the Wessobrunn School during the 18th century Baroque period.

Visitors can find the monastery at Alter Kornmarkt 8, with guided tours available through advance reservation at the church office.

The structure maintains its status as the oldest existing collegiate monastery in Bavaria while continuing to serve as an active religious community.
