Sankt Joseph Abbey
The St. Joseph Convent is a convent of the English Ladies in Altötting in Bavaria in the Diocese of Passau. It was founded in 1720 by the Munich branch of the English Ladies with the permission of Elector Maximilian II Emanuel of Bavaria and the Archbishop of Salzburg. In 1803 the convent lost its boarding school, in 1808 its assets, in 1809 its independence. Altötting became a branch of the Institute of the English Ladies of Burghausen. In 1823, the admission of novices was again permitted. The convent founded a school, from which today's Maria-Ward-Realschule and the Maria-Ward-Gymnasium emerged. In 2004 the convent was renamed Congregatio Jesu.
