Benediktinerinnenkloster Kitzingen, Benedictine nunnery in Kitzingen, Germany.
The Benedictine nunnery stands in Lower Franconia, featuring traditional monastic architecture and dedicated spaces for religious contemplation and community living.
Founded in the 8th century during the reorganization of the East Frankish realm by missionary Boniface, the nunnery operated continuously until its dissolution in 1544.
The nunnery maintained strong connections with religious figures, including a documented visit from Hildegard von Bingen during the 12th century.
The former monastery buildings are accessible through Kitzingen's public transportation system, with regular bus services connecting to the town center.
According to local records, the monastery received its name from a shepherd called Kuccingus who witnessed an apparition of Mary seeking to rescue a stolen lamb.
