Gandersheim Abbey
852 AD - 919 AD
Former house of secular canonesses (Frauenstift) in the present town of Bad Gandersheim in Lower Saxony, Germany
The "Imperial free secular foundation of Gandersheim" (Kaiserlich freies weltliches Reichsstift Gandersheim), as it was officially known from the 13th century to its dissolution in 1810, was a community of the unmarried daughters of the high nobility, leading a godly life but not under monastic vows, which is the meaning of the word "secular" in the title.
