Kloster Herrenchiemsee
Kloster Herrenchiemsee, Augustinian monastery on Herreninsel, Chiemsee, Germany
The monastery complex features four Baroque buildings surrounding a rectangular courtyard with a rose garden at its center.
Founded between 1125 and 1129, the monastery served as a religious community until 1803 when it was dissolved during the secularization period.
The Library Hall, designed by Johann Baptist Zimmerman, contains detailed architectural elements that reflect the religious and artistic influences of the period.
The former monastery church, which later became a brewery building, can only be accessed through scheduled guided tours throughout the day.
In 1948, German representatives gathered in the monastery to draft the Basic Law, establishing the foundation for modern German democracy.
