historic monument, publicly accessible

In Weyarn, a municipality in Bavaria, parts of the historic enclosure of the former Augustinian Canons Regular monastery bear witness to the former significance of the abbey. Five crowned pedestals, which once surrounded the monastery garden, are now protected as a listed building and offer an insight into the Baroque design of the complex.

History+

The Augustinian Canons Regular monastery of Weyarn was founded in the 12th century and developed over the centuries into an important religious and cultural center in the region. The preserved pedestals of the enclosure date from a later construction phase, presumably the 18th century, when the monastery garden underwent a representative design. In the course of secularization at the beginning of the 19th century, the abbey was dissolved and the buildings were given new uses, with parts of the original architecture being preserved.

Location+

The remains of the monastery enclosure are located in the municipality of Weyarn in the Bavarian Oberland, nestled in the pre-Alpine landscape of Southern Germany. The region is known for its rolling hills, river valleys, and traditional villages.
