Stiftskirche der Augustinerchorherren St. Sixtus und St. Sebastian - Inseldom

Stiftskirche der Augustinerchorherren St. Sixtus und St. Sebastian - Inseldom, Romanesque cathedral on Herrenchiemsee Island, Germany.

The Inseldom features a high-ceiling nave with side chapels and galleries, constructed in a wall pillar architectural style during the 17th century.

The cathedral served as the center of the Diocese of Chiemsee from 1215 until 1807, when the diocese was dissolved during the Bavarian secularization.

The remaining structure contains frescoes and stucco decorations from the Baroque period, representing religious art of the Graubünden school.

Visitors can access the cathedral from April through October during weekend guided tours, with an elevator providing barrier-free entrance to all areas.

The cathedral building underwent transformation into a brewery in 1818, utilizing its tall interior spaces for industrial beer production until 1917.
