Andechs Abbey, Benedictine monastery in Bavaria, Germany
The hilltop monastery complex features a Baroque church with ornate decorations, grand towers, and multiple courtyards surrounded by white walls.
Founded in 1401, the abbey gained prominence when Duke Ernest of Bavaria commissioned the construction of a collegiate church, completed in 1423.
The monastery maintains Benedictine traditions through daily prayers, agricultural activities, and the management of an on-site brewery producing German beers.
Visitors can access the monastery daily from 8 AM to 6 PM, with guided tours available and a restaurant serving traditional Bavarian meals.
The monastery houses the burial site of composer Carl Orff and generates income through its brewery, which produces over 100,000 hectoliters annually.
