The Klostermuseum Ochsenhausen, opened in August 1999, is a museum dedicated to the former Imperial Abbey of Ochsenhausen. It is situated in the Prince's building of the former monastery, under the sponsorship of the Roman Catholic parish of Ochsenhausen, pastoral unit St. Benedict, the city of Ochsenhausen, and the state of Baden-Württemberg.
History Displayed at the Museum
Located in the south wing of the Prince's building, the former guest building of the monastery, the museum showcases the history of the Ochsenhausen monastery. The timeline spans from the consecration of the first monastery church in 1093 to the abolition of the monastery and its sale to the King of Württemberg in 1825.
Exhibits at the Museum
The museum's exhibits include a larger-than-life carved Saint George, a tower monstrance made of silver, vestments, and other liturgical devices. Visitors can also see filing cabinets and the desk of the last Abbot Romuald Weltin.
