Mimmenhausen

Few communities in Baden-Württemberg have a history as closely tied to the former Cistercian Abbey of Salem as Mimmenhausen. Set in the gently rolling Linzgau countryside north of Lake Constance, it forms part of the municipality of Salem. The nearby abbey, founded in 1134, became one of the region’s most influential Cistercian houses. Its former precinct, Schloss Salem, preserves a Gothic minster alongside imposing Baroque buildings, reflecting centuries of religious and secular authority. Mimmenhausen has a quieter residential character, while the surrounding Bodensee hinterland is shaped by orchards, fields and cycling routes.
