Klosterkirche St. Margarethen
Klosterkirche St. Margarethen, Monastery church in Altenmarkt an der Alz, Germany.
The Klosterkirche St. Margarethen features two massive towers with baroque domes and stands on a forested steep slope overlooking the Traun and Alz valleys.
In 1156, the initial three-aisled Romanesque basilica was consecrated, and later in the 18th century, it underwent reconstruction into a single-nave pillar church.
The interior combines white walls, gold side altars, and stucco work in pink, yellow, and brown tones, created by artists from the Wessobrunn school.
The church welcomes visitors daily from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with guided tours available through the parish office at +49 8621 2753.
The monastery complex maintains its brewing tradition since 1612, allowing visitors to experience both religious heritage and local beer production.
