Engelbrechtsmünster is a village in Bavaria, Germany, now part of the municipality of Geisenfeld.

There was a monastery in the village, thought to have been founded by pupils of the Irish missionary Columbanus at the start of the 6th century.

The monks would not have lived together, but scattered in cells throughout the parish, which was extensive in the early days.

Around 815 a Benedictine monk rebuilt the Ilm Monastery, which was endowed with lands in the region.

[2] A tower-like castle was built around 800, partly destroyed in 954-55, rebuilt in 1051 and in 1400 converted into a chapel.
