Augustinerchorherrenstift Beyharting

The monastery complex includes a church with Rococo decorations, featuring detailed stucco work and frescoes created by Johann Baptist Zimmermann in the 18th century.

Founded in 1130 during Archbishop Conrad I of Salzburg's tenure, the monastery housed Augustinian canons and expanded its influence through the incorporation of Tuntenhausen parish in 1221.

The monastery served as a center for education and scholarly activities of the Augustinian Order between Baumburg and Weyarn, maintaining a substantial regional library.

The monastery buildings now contain a kindergarten, museum, and parish center, with guided tours available through the Parish Office at Augustinerweg 5 in Tuntenhausen-Beyharting.

The Gothic cloister displays Renaissance frescoes from 1565 and remained preserved through centuries, surviving the monastery's near-complete liquidation during the 1802 secularization period.
