The Zisterzienserinnenabtei Seligenthal (Cistercian Abbey of Seligenthal), founded in 1232 in Landshut by the Bavarian Duke's widow Ludmilla, was abolished in 1803 and rebuilt by King Ludwig I of Bavaria in 1835. Since then the sisters have mainly been involved in educational work for which the Seligenthal School Foundation was founded in 2000, which acts as the responsible body for the educational institutions. In 1803 the monastery's archive became partly state-owned and contains historical manuscripts and modern documents on the monastery's history.
