Kloster Maria Eck

Maria Eck Monastery stands on a hilltop location at coordinates 47.7933, 12.6188, featuring traditional Bavarian monastic architecture with white walls and stone features.

The monastery, established in 1819, emerged from a prior religious site that dates back to the 17th century when Benedictine monks from Seeon Abbey founded a priory.

The monastery maintains regular religious services and continues the centuries-old tradition of pilgrimage within the Archdiocese of Munich and Freising.

Visitors can access the monastery grounds daily, with guided tours available through advance arrangements with the Franciscan community that manages the site.

During World War II, the Nazi regime seized two of the monastery's four bells to repurpose them for military equipment production.
