The Michelin Guide's review
This Augustinian Canon monastery was founded in 1504 and rebuilt in the Baroque style in the late 17C. The prior wished the abbey church to bear as strong a resemblance as possible to St Peter's in Rome, hence its unusually imposing size for such a small community. The frescoes of the cupola and the nave are by Matthias von Görz. A palette of lively colours, a taste for light and a mastery of trompe-l'oeil are the main characteristics of his art.
