Schillingsfürst Abbey
The Schillingsfürst Monastery is a former Franciscan monastery in Schillingsfürst, Bavaria, in the Diocese of Bamberg.
The monastery, dedicated to the Holy Cross, was founded in 1673 by Christian and Ludwig von Hohenlohe and was initially a hospice, becoming a convent from 1687. It was dissolved in 1822. The church and monastery buildings were preserved. The church became a parish church, and the monastery buildings housed the rectory, the boys' school, and a teacher's residence.
