Aldersbach Abbey

The monastery complex stands in the Vils valley, featuring religious structures and dedicated spaces organized around a central courtyard at Klosterplatz 5.

Founded in 1120 as an Augustinian community, the monastery transitioned to Cistercian rule in 1146 under the guidance of monks from Ebrach Abbey.

The monastery maintained a substantial library collection, which now forms part of the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek in Munich, preserving centuries of academic works.

Visitors can access the monastery grounds through the main entrance at Klosterplatz, where information about guided tours and exhibitions is available.

The monastery's brewery, documented since 1268, continues production as Brauerei Aldersbach, maintaining the centuries-old brewing tradition.
