Landrada was a 7th-century German noblewoman and Benedictine nun who lived in the region of Austrasia. As the daughter of Pepin of Landen, she chose an ascetic lifestyle over marriage, eventually settling in a forest near Munsterbilzen. She became a co-founder of the Munsterbilzen Abbey, where she served as its first abbess. Her religious devotion and leadership led to her recognition as a saint within the Catholic tradition.
