The Steingaden Abbey, dedicated to St. John the Baptist, was founded in 1147. In 1176 the Romanesque monastery church was consecrated. From 1470 to 1491 the abbey under Abbot Caspar Suiter was redesigned in the late Gothic style. In 1525 there was arson and pillage in the peasant war. The destruction in the Thirty Years’ War was followed by the reconstruction under Abbot Augustin Bonenmayr in the style of the beginning of the Baroque until 1663. From 1740 to 1750 the nave was decorated in Rococo style.
