Rinchnach Priory (German: Kloster Rinchnach) was a Benedictine monastery at Rinchnach in Bavaria, Germany.
History
The monastery, dedicated to Saint John the Baptist, was founded in 1011 by Saint Gunther, a Benedictine monk of Niederaltaich Abbey, as the first settlement in the central Bavarian Forest. In 1029 Emperor Conrad II endowed the monastery with land. It was made a priory of Niederaltaich in 1040, when Saint Gunther moved on to Gutwasser (the present Dobra Voda) in Bohemia.[1]
In 1488 (?) the Hussites burnt the monastery down.[citation needed] In 1703 it was pillaged by Hungarian regiments, but restored in 1708 by Niederaltaich Abbey.[2]
The monastery was dissolved in 1803 as a result of the secularisation of Bavaria, and its estates were auctioned off.[1]
