Schamhaupten Monastery is a former monastery of the Augustinian Canons in Schamhaupten , today part of Altmannstein , in Bavaria in the diocese of Regensburg .

history

The monastery, consecrated to St. George, was founded in 1137 by Gertrud von Schamhaupten and her daughter Liutgard. The first canons came from Rohr and the St. Johann monastery in Regensburg . The monastery often suffered from low income, which could not be remedied by canons from Rebdorf and Bernried . Uninhabited since 1555, it was dissolved in 1606 . The monastery property was given to the University of Ingolstadt with papal approval . From 1471 the monastery served the Muggenthal family as a family resting place . The former monastery church still stands - after some alterations and renovations - and is used as a Catholic parish church. The choir dates from the 15th century, the nave from 1654. Only remnants of the monastery buildings remain in newer buildings.
