Fraulautern Abbey


Fraulautern Abbey was a community of Augustinian canonesses of the nobility, founded in the 12th century; it was suppressed in the 1790s during the French Revolution. The abbey buildings, which are still extant in part, are located in Fraulautern, now part of Saarlouis in Saarland, Germany. Between the French Revolution and 1936, when Fraulautern was incorporated into Saarlouis, the buildings were used as the town hall. They are now used by the Grundschule of Fraulautern under the name "Im Alten Kloster".
