Kirche St. Stephan, Benedictine abbey in Augsburg, Germany.

Kirche St. Stephan is a church and former Benedictine abbey in the center of Augsburg, Bavaria. It has a tall bell tower, thick stone walls, and a courtyard that connects the church nave to the old monastery buildings.

A church dedicated to St. Stephen stood here before the canonesses' convent was founded in 969; the original three-aisled basilica with two west towers rose on Roman foundations and was rebuilt after fires. In 1310 Bishop Friedrich I incorporated the parish into the convent. Abbess Beata von Welden had the church rebuilt in Rococo form from 1755 to 1757 under architect Franz Xaver Kleinhans. A 1944 air raid destroyed church and monastery; the exterior was largely restored and the interior completed by 1966.

The name refers to Saint Stephen, to whom a church on this site was dedicated before the canonesses' convent was founded in 969. The parish that grew out of it is documented from 1169 and was incorporated into the convent in 1310, with the abbess appointing the priest. Since 1835 Benedictines have served the church again.

The entrance to the church is on Stephansplatz, within easy walking distance of the Augsburg city center. Visiting outside of service times gives you the best chance to look around the interior at your own pace.

The 1495 late-Gothic crucifix in the choir, attributed to Michel Erhart, is on loan from the Heilig-Geist-Spital. In the choir ambulatory lie numerous grave slabs from the 14th and 15th centuries, and the only Rococo survivals are the choir grille and its matching apostle candelabrum.
