Catholic rectory

The east wing of the former convent building in Altötting, Bavaria, now serves as the Catholic rectory and simultaneously preserves parts of the former cloister. This ensemble is a testament to the long religious history of the site, integrating historical architecture into a modern ecclesiastical use.

History+

The origins of the building complex lie in a former monastery, whose exact founding history and the orders that resided there are not documented. The preserved east wing and the remnants of the cloister are the material remains of this former monastic complex, which underwent a transformation over the centuries and now serves as a rectory. The precise development from the dissolution of the monastery to its current use cannot be inferred from the available information.
