Welcome to the Monastery of Beuron

Already in 777, a monastery stood in the area of the soldier cemetery and was later destroyed by the Hungarians. The monastery, erected in the current day location starting in 1077 until its dissolution, is one of the oldest Augustinian choir houses in Germany. Secularized in 1802, Beuron became the property of the Fürstenhaus Hohenzollern - Sigmaringen. 1863 marked a new beginning of monastic life in Beuron by the Benedictine monks Maurus and Placidus Wolter, thanks to a foundation of the Princess Catherine von Hohenzollern.

In the course of the Prussian cultural struggle from 1875 to 1887, the monks were expelled. The Abbey of Beuron is the founding monastery of the Beuron Benedictine Congregation, with 16 monasteries in Germany, Austria and South Tyrol.
