Interior view of the monastery church

The Weyarn Monastery is a former monastery of the Augustinian Canons and is now the monastery of the Teutonic Order in Weyarn in Bavaria in the Archdiocese of Munich and Freising .

history

The monastery, consecrated to St. Peter and Paul, was founded in 1133 by Count Siboto II von Falkenstein . Since 1653 supervised canons constant pilgrimage pastoral care in Weihenlinden . The monastery was dissolved in 1803 in the course of secularization . In 1806 , some canons acquired the convent stock. The prelature and refectory were torn down, the church and St. Jacob's Chapel were preserved. A convent of the German Brethren Province of the Teutonic Order has existed in Weyarn Abbey since 1998 . In the same year the monastery became the headquarters of the order province (also called the priory ) and the Teutonic Order. The initial plan of rebuilding the missing north wing was abandoned by the order in favor of the necessary restoration work in other parts of the building complex.
