Kloster St. Lioba, Benedictine monastery in Günterstal, Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany.

The monastery complex includes an oratory, garden areas, St. Benedict guest house, monastery shop, biblical garden, and a small cemetery for nuns.

Founded in 1920 by sisters of St. Hedwig Children's Hospital, the congregation moved to Villa Wohlgemuth in Günterstal after receiving papal recognition in 1927.

The monastery hosts regular Gregorian chant singing sessions and offers seminars in the House of St. Benedict, contributing to local spiritual education.

The monastery includes a guest house for visitors, maintains regular prayer schedules, and provides access to a monastery shop selling related items.

The monastery building, formerly Villa Wohlgemuth, features Tuscan-style architecture designed by Fritz Seitz and contains preserved historical frescoes from 1906.
