Reisach Priory (German : Kloster Reisach) is a monastery of the Discalced Carmelites in Oberaudorf in Bavaria, Germany, in the diocese of Munich and Freising.
The priory, dedicated to Saint Theresa, was founded as Urfahrn Priory (Kloster Urfahrn) in 1731 by Johann Georg Messerer, a counsellor at the Bavarian court, and was built between 1737 and 1741 by Abraham Millauer and his son Philipp to plans by the master builder Johann Baptist Gunetzrhainer. The interior of the church is by the Munich court painter Balthasar Albrecht.
Urfahrn Priory was dissolved in 1802, during the secularisation of Bavaria.
In 2021 most parts of the episode "Wunder gibt es immer wieder" of the detective series Tatort were produced at the priory.
In 1836–37, after failed attempts to establish a Franciscan community in the empty buildings, it was re-founded as Reisach Priory (Kloster Reisach) by a small group of Carmelites from Würzburg.
Since 2001 Fr. Robert Schmidbauer OCD has been the prior here.
The Carmelite church is particularly noted for its sculptured Baroque crib, created in the second half of the 18th century, and counted as one of the best in Upper Bavaria. The wooden relief carvings on the side altars, including the Altar of the Scapular by Johann Baptist Straub, are also of exceptional quality.
