    The Münchsteinach Monastery is a former Benedictine monastery in Münchsteinach in Bavaria in the Diocese of Würzburg.

    The monastery, dedicated to St. Nicholas, was founded by the noble lords of Steinach in 1102. The bailiwick of the monastery passed to the Burgraves of Nuremberg and later Margraves of Brandenburg via King Konradin in 1265 at the latest. The church and monastery were partially destroyed in the Peasants' War in 1525. The monastery was dissolved in 1529 during the Reformation. Münchsteinach became a margrave's monastery office, which existed until 1792.

    The monastery church was restored to its original condition through an extensive renovation between 1965 and 1970. The original colors from the time it was built around 1180 were uncovered on the pillars of the basilica. A depiction of a saint from this period is particularly impressive.

        The first photo looks great - but a filter was also used, right?
