The St. Walburg Monastery is an abbey of Benedictine nuns in Eichstätt in the Bavarian diocese of Eichstätt.
The remains of Saint Walburga were transferred about 100 years after her death, between 870 and 879, under Bishop Otgar of Eichstätt from her monastery in Heidenheim am Hahnenkamm to the site of today's monastery, where a small church stood that soon took the name of the saint. Soon, canons settled here. On June 24, 1035, Saint Liutger, Count of Lechsgmünd and Graisbach, at the suggestion of Bishop Heribert of Eichstätt, founded the Benedictine nunnery that still exists today. The founding assets included properties in Böhmfeld, Pietenfeld, Dietfurt, Rehlingen, Langenaltheim, and in the southeastern Bavarian village of Gempfing near Rain.
