Abtei Neustadt am Main, Benedictine monastery in Bavaria, Germany

The monastery complex includes medieval structures and a church dedicated to Saints Michael and Gertrude along the Main River banks.

Founded between 768 and 769 by Bishop Megingoz of Würzburg, the monastery received royal status and operated continuously until its dissolution in 1803.

The monastery maintained a significant educational institution, accepting students from various social backgrounds to study religious texts and classical literature.

The former abbey buildings now function as a parish church, with portions open to visitors interested in examining the medieval architecture.

Archaeological excavations revealed multiple monastery locations, including an initial cell on Michaelsberg and later structures near the Silberloch stream confluence.
