Hohenwart Abbey

The nunnery was founded in 1074, presumably from the monastery at Andechs, by Count Ortolf and his sister Wiltrudis, last of the noble family of the Rapotonen.

In 1215 a chapel was built in her honour where she was buried, to which from the 15th century onwards pilgrimages took place.

However, the nunnery buildings found no buyers, and so the existing nuns were allowed to stay there until the end of their lives.

Of the nunnery, although the principal buildings are destroyed, there remain the Romanesque St. Peter's Chapel, the Romanesque–Gothic cloister, the late-Gothic Bl.

Richildis Chapel and the abbey pharmacy with the probably unique Rococo representation of "Christ the Apothecary" in stucco from 1739.
