St. Irmine Abbey, Benedictine abbey in Oeren district of Trier, Germany.

The abbey contains the collegiate church of St. Irmine and Vereinigte Hospitien buildings near the banks of the Moselle River.

Founded between 645 and 659 by Modesta, the abbey received Irmine as its second abbess who served until 704 following Columban rules.

Otto I placed the monastery under Trier Archbishop control in 966 in exchange for St. Servatius church in Maastricht.

The structures include a west wing built by Caspar Kretschmar around 1740 and a church constructed by Jean Antoine in 1768.

Napoleon's 1804 decree transformed the abbey into Vereinigte Hospitien, establishing healthcare facilities within its historical walls.
