Guided tours
A wealth of art historical treasures and other remarkable attractions awaits visitors to the monastery complex: the collegiate church suffused with light is the southern-most example of southern German late Baroque architecture and the perfect place to pause for reflection or a quiet prayer. The cloistered courtyard adjoins the church, characterized by Gothic arches and embellished with frescoes by various artists.
Numerous Gothic panel paintings and altar pieces by Friedrich Pacher and artists from his school, precious manuscripts and other liturgical treasures, as well as scientific and historical instruments are on show in the pinacotheca, while the monastery library is a real gem, accommodating around 92,000 precious volumes in its large Rococo style hall.
