The foundation of Metten Abbey dates back to the late 8th century. It was dissolved in 1803 during the secularization. From 1830 onwards, the monastery experienced a revival and became a hub for the renewal of other Bavarian Benedictine monasteries. The emergence of the Benedictine order in the United States of America also originated from Metten.
