A former Franciscan monastery in the center of Eggenfelden, Lower Bavaria, that can be booked for training days, seminars and mindful gatherings, with four rooms, a walled garden of 8,000 square meters and 16 simple bedrooms on site. It is run by the non-profit association a.s.a.m. Klosterverein.
Seminars and company events
The association rents the monastery rooms for trainings, seminars and mindful events. Its own description stresses a setting away from everyday routine, laid out for working with people. Technical equipment for seminars is provided separately from the historic rooms. Rearranging the furniture or changing the seating is charged extra, so ask for the layout you need at the time of the request.
When the weather allows, the large enclosed garden of 8,000 square meters serves as an alternative or an addition to the indoor rooms.
Weddings and receptions
The site mentions celebrations with friends and family in the same mindful spirit as the seminars. It does not describe a wedding offer or give guest numbers for receptions, so couples should ask directly whether a ceremony or party fits the format.
Rooms and capacities
Four spaces are listed for hire. The Refektorium is the largest at 104 square meters. The Meditationsraum measures 84 square meters. The Seminarraum on the first floor has 34 square meters, and the Pfortenzimmer has 31 square meters. All public rooms can also be booked together, and the association gives a reduction for bookings of two days or more. The site does not state seated or standing capacities per room, so confirm numbers for your layout before you plan.
Accommodation
The monastery has 16 bedrooms, furnished simply and in keeping with the spirit of the house. They are offered as single, double and three- or multi-bed rooms. All but two have a washbasin, and bathrooms and toilets are in the corridor. This suits groups that value quiet over hotel standards.
Catering
Meals are mostly vegetarian, regional and seasonal, offered as a full-board package or as separate breakfast, lunch with cake, dinner, and coffee breaks with a pretzel or cake. Meat can be added on request. Cancellation terms apply and are listed on the booking page, with fees that rise as the start date approaches.
History and setting

Since 2019 a host named Julia Lander has looked after guests and answers requests. The association celebrates its tenth anniversary in 2026.
