The Monastery of St. George (patrons: St. George and St. James the Elder; since 1806 Isny Castle) is a former Benedictine abbey founded in 1096 in Isny im Allgäu, in the Diocese of Constance, and existed as a small imperial abbey from 1782 until secularization.

Ruins of a former castle with explanatory panels

It's a shame that you can only visit the chapel and only during the service. The rest of the beautiful castle is not open to the public.

Since its secularization in the early 19th century, the Benedictine monastery, dating from 1096, has been referred to as a "castle." In the 17th century, the monastery was rebuilt in the Baroque style after the great town fire of 1631. The castle complex was acquired by citizens of the town of Isny from the municipality in 1996. Today, its continued existence is ensured by the non-profit foundation "Friedrich Hechelmann and Isny Castle Art and Culture Foundation." The castle's Baroque building ensemble houses the Kunsthalle (Art Gallery), featuring works by Isny artist Friedrich Hechelmann, as well as the Municipal Gallery in the castle. With innovative exhibition concepts, it provides exciting contrasts to the castle's former coachman's house. Also worth seeing are the refectory, the former reception and dining hall of the abbots, and the restored abbot's house. Source: https://isny-schloss.de/schloss-isny/
