Niederaltaich Abbey

Highlight • Religious Site

Niederaltaich Monastery looks back on almost 1,300 years of tradition. The buildings still preserved today and the monastery church are not that old, but the church is around 300 years old. At the beginning of the 19th century the monastery was only abolished as part of the secularization, but was re-established in the late 1940s. Today 30 Benedictines live and work here again.

The church and the monastery can be visited. You can also browse the monastery shop, feast in the Klosterhof restaurant or even spend the night in the guest house.

You can find all information about the monastery at abtei-niederaltaich.de.

Gunther Fountain

Highlight • Monument

The fountain was cast in 2010 by the Lower Bavarian sculptor Joseph Michael Neustifter in light bronze (just under a ton). It is related to the basilica and the monastery complex and shows scenes from the life of the Niederaltaich monks, hermits, peace mediators and missionaries St. Gunther as well as rich Christian symbolism.
