St. Mang's Abbey

Om

Hurtige fakta: Barokklosteret med over 1200 års historie gemmer på et af Bayerns største klosterbiblioteker med næsten 10.000 bind. Det står på det sted, hvor eneboeren Sankt Magnus engang levede, og dets lofts fresker dækker utrolige 450 kvadratmeter.

Højdepunkter: I bibliotekssalen finder man en skjult dør, der er kamufleret mellem bogreolerne og fører ind til en hemmelig gang. Herfra observerede munkene engang gudstjenester uden at blive set.

Insidertips

• Do not forget to bring a sweater. Even in summer, the stone corridors of the monastery are pleasantly cool to refreshingly chilly.
• The best photos of the library are taken from the corner by the door, where you can capture the entire gold-adorned decor.
• Skip the midday hours from 12:00 to 14:00, as that is when the largest groups of tourists arrive.
• After the tour, sit down in the monastery courtyard on a bench under the linden tree. It is an ideal place for a short rest.
