Michaelbeuern Abbey

A monastic cell existed here as early as 736 or thereabouts, referred to in the Aachen Monastery Register("Klosterverzeichnis") in 817 as "Buria".

From the 17th century however Michaelbeuern began a long period of prosperity, which led to ambitious building works, for example the Baroque high altar of 1691 in the abbey church, by Meinrad Guggenbichler and Johann Michael Rottmayr.

Cultural offerings include the Baroque cloister, medieval refectory, and high altar in the church.

The abbey houses a rich manuscript collection, a notable music archive, and hosts various concerts.
