History+

The foundation of Fürstenfeld Abbey took place in 1265. It was endowed by Duke Ludwig II the Strict and evolved into one of the Wittelsbach family monasteries. Throughout its history, the abbey experienced various developments and challenges. Following looting during the Thirty Years' War in 1632/1633, reconstruction began around 1640. In 1691, the foundation stone was laid for the Baroque monastery complex, whose construction extended into the 18th century.
