The beginnings of Altenburg Monastery reach back to the year 1144 when Countess Hildburg von Poigen-Rebgau founded it in memory of her deceased husband, Gebhard von Poigen.
In the 18th century, after numerous acts of destruction on the part of invading Hussites, Swedes and others, the Barock monastery which visitors admire today was designed by and built under the supervision of Abbot Placidus Much an the guidance of the architect Josef Munggenast. The 20th century, with both its world wars, also left behind deep marks in the history of the monastery. These scars could only be removed through long and costly restoration work.
