Weißenau Monastery (St. Peter and Paul)

Until 1802/03, the Weißenau Monastery was a Premonstratensian canonry a few kilometers south of Ravensburg. Today, the building, now known as the Münster, is used as the parish church of the Weißenau community. It is worth taking a look inside what was once the most powerful and culturally significant imperial monastery in southern Upper Swabia.

The Weißenau Monastery (historically also Minderau, lat. Augia Minor) was a Premonstratensian canonry under imperial control a few kilometers south of the former Free Imperial City of Ravensburg in Upper Swabia. It existed from 1145 until secularization in 1802/1803. Today it is located in the Ravensburg district of Eschach. The baroque monastery church of St. Peter and Paul is used as the parish church of the local Roman Catholic parish. The church with its opulent paintings and valuable baroque choir stalls is a sight on the Upper Swabian Baroque Route. Source: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kloster_Weißenau
