      "The roots of the Rottenbuch Abbey date back to the early 10th century, when Eticho, a member of the powerful Guelph family, was said to have founded a monastery to clear the Ammertal valley, possibly in Oberammergau, where the region's first parish church was found According to Welfischer's house tradition, Eticho's son, Heinrich, moved the monastery to Rottenbuch, a hillside over the Ammer, overgrown with beech trees due to its unfavorable position and climate.

      The splendor of the baroque was only relatively late in Rottenbuch, especially since the pen had been plundered in 1704 by the Hungarian troops in the Spanish War of Succession. Under Provost Patritius Oswald (reigned 1700-1740) the three-nave cross-shaped basilica with transept and the free-standing bell tower in the design of the surfaces, the equipment and the lighting in the style of the Baroque was redesigned, although the medieval room idea remained visible to this day. From 1737 to 1750, the stucco works of the Wessobrunn masters Joseph and Franz Xaver Schmuzer as well as the frescoes with the Augustine cycle by Matthäus Günther were created. Until 1770, the construction of a spacious new building for the Convention followed. "

      And for the palate there is something delicious in the cafe south of the gate.

        Collegiate church of the former monastery in Rottenbuch. Its core dates back to the 11th century. After fires and collapses, it was rebuilt in the 15th century using parts of the Romanesque basilica. A freestanding bell tower with an onion dome dates from 1439.
