Steingaden, Welfenmünster

The former Premonstratensians church St. Johannes Baptist was founded in 1147 AD. It received its Gothic elements between1470-1491 and its Rococo elements around 1750. In between, the church was partially destroyed and looted during German Peasants' War (1530) and Thirty Years' War (1645). With Secularization of church property in 1803, most monastery buildings were torn down except this church building.
