During our Europe Tour in Germany Gate 1 made short stop at this lovely church in the Bavarian mountains. It’s a retreat established by catholic monks and nuns very old. They established a beautiful place to worship and do work for the community and support their ministry. We only stopped for a brief visit but you can certainly get a glimpse of their beautiful church there. Stop by the gift shop for samples of their special beer and liquor. Lots of beautiful religious artifacts.

We stopped here for a very quick visit on our drive from Fussen back to Munich. It was late in the afternoon, so the Abbey was already closed. However, we were able to walk into the main courtyard and view it from the outside, which was itself very impressive. It’s a quaint little town, and we would have liked to spend more time.

Incredible architecture in such a remote place. The Abbey is about a 15 minute drive from Garmisch in a very small village. The building itself is huge and the church although small compared to many others is utterly spectacular and an incredible example of architecture and religious interior. Sit quietly inside and be mesmerised by its glorious appeal.
