Benediktbeuern Abbey

One of the best Carolingian architectures, The Benediktbeuern Abbey, was founded in 739 and is regarded as the oldest and most stunning monastery in Upper Bavaria.

Anecdotally, Karl the Great gifted the right arm of the revered Saint Benedict before the 800s, which is how the name Benedicto-Burum came to be (a significant artifact). Thus, the name came to be. In the Carolingian era, the convent was renowned for its scriptorium.

The cloister was demolished and the monastery ceased to exist after the Hungary storm in 955 and the decline of the empire in the 10th century.

The church was renovated by Saint Ulrich of Augsburg, who also founded the "Sakularkanonikerstift." It didn't achieve its cultural apex until Heinrich III reclaimed the throne, though.

The cloister was where Goldsmith's skill was nurtured and where the "Carmina Burana" semantics were born.

The cloister wasn't completely refurbished in the iconic early Italian Baroque style until around the end of the 16th century.

The father of the skilled architect-interior decorator's brothers, Hans Georg Asam, also painted a fresco of the life of Christ that is scattered throughout the church. Currently, the cloister serves a variety of additional purposes, including conferences, performances, and gatherings.
