In August 2023, a hailstorm destroyed most of the roofs and windows, as well as the exterior. The persistent rain further contributed to the extensive destruction inside. To this day, the basilica and a large portion of the monastery complex are still under scaffolding and under repair. At the same time, older damage caused by structural deficiencies in the basilica is being repaired, and the educational area is being expanded due to increased demand. The basilica can only be entered through the entrance area, as the entire interior of the nave is also under scaffolding.

Along the banks, there are numerous opportunities to get directly to the Loisach River. It's simply a lovely place to linger.

Unfortunately, there is currently a lot of construction work after the devastating thunderstorm in August 2023, thanks to climate change 😬(sueddeutsche.de/bayern/unwetter-hagel-sturm-gewitter-bichl-benediktbeuern-bayern-kloster-1.6167709). Still impressive!
