Freising, Historic cathedral city in Bavaria, Germany

Freising rises on two hills along the Isar River, with the cathedral complex on one summit and Weihenstephan brewery campus on the other.

The settlement developed from a Benedictine monastery established by Saint Corbinian in 724, becoming an important religious center during the Middle Ages.

The Freising Cathedral features Romanesque architecture from 1205 and contains a crypt with columns decorated by master craftsmen of the medieval period.

The Munich International Airport lies 10 kilometers from Freising, while regular S-Bahn trains connect the city to Munich's central station in 25 minutes.

The Weihenstephan State Brewery, founded in 1040 and located within the agricultural sciences campus, maintains operations as the first documented brewery worldwide.
