Münchsmünster Abbey
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Münchsmünster Abbey (German: Kloster Münchsmünster) was a monastery in Münchsmünster, Upper Bavaria, in the Electorate of Bavaria. It was closed in 1556 during the Protestant Reformation, and later was administered by Jesuits and then the Knights of Malta before being auctioned in 1817 and largely demolished. Some fragments have been preserved.
