A walk in green meadows |

Those visiting Schäftlarn would be well advised to take a walk through the lovely countryside before or after a visit to the monastery. Founded in 760, the monastery changed allegiances several times over the centuries, the last time being in 1866 when it was transferred to the Benedictines. Most of the buildings were constructed in 1702-07 according to plans drawn up by Giovanni Antonio Viscardis. The monastery chapel was rebuilt between 1733-57 and provides an excellent example of Bavarian Baroque. The interior contains frescos by Johann Baptist Zimmermann; the altar and pulpit were built by sculptor Johann Baptist Straub. Visitors should make sure that they sample the monks brew in the beer garden. Review © 2009, Wcities |
