Year-round: Exhibitions in Schussenried Abbey. The preserved buildings of Schussenried Monastery a former Premonstratensian imperial monastery founded in 1183, are worth seeing. In 1748, construction of the entire monastery complex began, but barely half of it was completed. The building project followed the example of Wiblingen Abbey. Both monasteries are characterized by their outstanding library rooms in the north wing of the monastery complex. A chapter house in the east was demolished in the early 19th century. The St. Magnus Church, which was converted into a baroque style shortly before the new monastery was built, has been preserved from the Middle Ages. It is a three-aisled basilica with baroque furnishings.
Schussenried Abbey is a former Catholic monastery in Bad Schussenried, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. It is famed for its Baroque library hall. The abbey was established in the 12th century by the Premonstratensian Order and made an Imperial Abbey in the 15th century. The monastery sustained immense damage in the Thirty Years' War. In the 18th century, the abbey began expansions in the Baroque style, but was unable to complete them. The abbey was secularized in 1803 and twice awarded during the process of German Mediatization, eventually becoming a possession of the Kingdom of Württemberg. Its second king, William I, opened a foundry on its grounds, which was followed by a nursing home. These ceased operation or moved out of the monastery in the 1990s.
