Michaelsberg Abbey (German: Abtei Michaelsberg) is a former monastery of the Benedictine Order, belonging to the Subiaco Congregation (1064–2011). The monastery is situated on the Michaelsberg ("St. Michael's Mount"), about 40 metres (130 ft) above the town of Siegburg. For this reason it is also often known as Siegburg Abbey.
