Eichstätt Abbey

The former Scottish monastery Eichstätt is a monastery of the Passionists in Eichstätt in Bavaria in the diocese of Eichstätt. Previously, since the 17th century, it had been a monastery of the Capuchins. In the monastery church, there is a Romanesque Holy Sepulchre chapel as a significant archaeological and cultural historical monument.
In the east of the episcopal city of Eichstätt, outside the city walls, Benedictines from Ireland, called "Scottish monks," settled, founded a provostry, operated a hospital, and cared for traveling pilgrims, especially from their homeland. This monastery, a daughter monastery of St. Jakob in Regensburg, is first documented in 1166, when the cathedral provost Walbrun von Rieshofen had a replica of the Holy Sepulchre revered in Jerusalem erected here and built a round church "To the Holy Cross" around it. It was consecrated by the Bishop of Eichstätt, Otto, in 1194. Since the 14th century, the Scottish monastery led a rather impoverished existence and became extinct in the 15th century due to insufficient income and lack of successors. In 1441, the Bishop of Eichstätt relieved the provost of the residency obligation, and a few years later, the monastery stood empty. In 1483, Pope Sixtus IV abolished the Scottish monastery by bull. The provostry was transferred to secular priests. Documents from 1441 and 1541 report on the decline of the church. In 1566, the income of the provostry was assigned to the episcopal seminary with papal permission.
