History+

The foundation of Kloster Neustift dates back to 1141. It was established as a provostry and evolved over the centuries, achieving the status of an abbey in 1717. The monastic territory constituted a Hofmark with its own lower jurisdiction. Despite being an exclave almost entirely surrounded by the Prince-Bishopric of Freising, it was not subject to the Freising Prince-Bishop but belonged to the Duchy or Electorate of Bavaria. The monastery was dissolved in 1803 during the secularization. Following secularization, the buildings served as barracks from 1803 to 1905, and subsequently housed a textile factory, apartments, and offices from 1906 to 1971.
