history

Au am Inn monastery church
Au am Inn monastery church, interior

Around 780 a cell was founded by the monks Baldung (Balduin) and Hrodbert. In 1122, Archbishop Konrad I of Salzburg founded an Augustinian canon monastery, which was consecrated to St. Mary, St. Felicitas and St. Vitalis.

Around 1,000 manuscripts were lost in a fire in the abbey library in 1686. From 1687 onwards, Domenico Cristoforo Zuccalli from Graubünden continued the construction of the convent building that had already begun and, until 1711, had a castle-like complex in the Baroque style with several inner courtyards and the two-towered collegiate church of St. Maria built. Its decoration with ceiling frescoes and altarpieces was completed by Franz Mareis from Wasserburg by the middle of the 18th century.

The monastery was dissolved in 1803 in the course of secularization . The culturally and historically significant church designed by Domenico Christoforo Zuccalli became a parish church, the monastery came into the private ownership of Joseph Ernst von Koch-Sternfeld . The university library in Landshut received 605 books from the monastery library. 1853 took over Dillinger Franciscan Sisters of Dillingen the monastery buildings. In 1854 the independent congregation of the Franciscan Sisters of Au am Inn was founded. With a short break in the “Third Reich”, the Franciscan Sisters devote themselves to upbringing and education. A special school founded in 1970 has developed into a curative education facility with a special needs school, day care center and home for mentally and physically handicapped children. The sisters have also set up branches in Brazil.
