historic monument

In Kitzingen, Bavaria, stands the former economic building of an Augustinian monastery, now protected as a historical monument. It bears witness to the order's former significance in the region and is a remarkable example of the city's historical architecture.

History+

The origins of the Augustinian monastery, to which this economic building belonged, date back a long time. Augustinian monasteries played an important role in the religious and economic development of many European cities during the Middle Ages. The economic building served the supply and administration of the monastery, thus reflecting the daily routines and organization of monastic life. After the secularization in Bavaria, which affected many monasteries, the building was put to new uses but remained preserved as a historical testimony.
