Scheyern Abbey, Benedictine monastery and brewery in Scheyern, Bavaria, Germany
The monastery complex includes a basilica, brewery, biergarten, butcher shop, distillery, and cheese dairy within its expansive grounds at the northern edge of Munich.
Founded in 1077 near Bayerischzell, the monastery relocated to Scheyern in 1119, taking over the former Wittelsbach Castle as its permanent location.
The abbey maintains its brewing traditions since 1119, producing beers exclusively with Hallertau hops and water from the monastery well without pasteurization processes.
Visitors can reach the abbey via the A9 autobahn, with clear signs directing to the Stammsitz, or by bicycle from Petershausen or Pfaffenhofen stations.
The monastery houses a Byzantine Institute focused on Saint John of Damascus studies and contains the Scheyern Cross, a relic from Jerusalem dating to 1180.
