The Holy Sepulcher Abbey School is a church-run grammar school in Baden-Baden .

Holy Sepulcher Monastery

The monastery of the Holy Sepulcher was founded in 1670 by the Margravine Maria Franziska von Baden and the Margrave Leopold Wilhelm von Baden . The building was completed in 1689, but in the same year the city of Baden was burned by French troops. The nuns fled to Forbach and later to Rottenburg . The church survived this fire almost unscathed. From 1700 school operations were resumed. The monastery was rebuilt by 1740 and a second wing was built in 1744. In 1769, Margrave August Georg Simpert von Baden donated the building for the boarding house. In 1895 the monastery building and the church were given their current neo-baroque appearance. Until the end of 2001 there were sepulchrins in the monastery .

From the 17th to the 19th century the school was a boarding school. At the end of the 19th century the school became a secondary school for girls.

The grammar school has also been open to boys since 1982. The boarding school was closed in 1999.
