The Romanesque basilica is part of the Benedictine Abbey of Wechselburg, a priory of the Ettal Abbey.
The atmosphere in the approximately 800-year-old walls by candlelight is always particularly moving. The monastery was founded in 1168 by Dedo von Rochlitz-Groitzsch as Augustinian monastery Zschillen, the construction of the basilica is estimated to the year 1200. Particularly interesting is the artful rood screen from the 13th century. After more than 400 years of interruption of monastic life since secularization, a new Benedictine monastery was founded in 1992 by members of the monastery Ettal.

Porphyry tuff (petrified lava ash) from Rochlitzer Berg was used for construction. A sign of the artistry of that time is the gallery column, carved out of a stone. The church is built as a three-aisled pillar basilica - high central nave and lower side aisles. The floor plan is in the shape of a cross. There was only a groined vault above the high choir and the gallery. The rest of the room had a flat ceiling.
Benedictine monks have lived in Wechselburg since 1993. As a priory, you belong to the Ettal Benedictine Abbey.
