    An impressive monastery complex with a late Baroque pilgrimage church featuring magnificent stucco decorations in the Wessobrunn style by Franz Schmuzer. The pilgrimage site houses original fragments of the cross, brought from Constantinople to Donauwörth in 1030, preserved in the crypt chapel.

    The church is generally open during the day.

      The Bavarian Duchess Maria von Brabant rests in the crypt of the monastery church. In the church is its epitaph plate, surrounded by an elaborate wrought iron grille, donated by Prince Regent Luitpold of Bavaria. In addition, memorial plaques for the court ladies who were also killed are set in the ground

        The monastery dedicated to the Holy Cross was founded around 1040 by Mangold I von Werd[1] as a Benedictine monastery. The spiritual founding gift was a part of the Cross of Christ, which Mangold received as envoy of the German Emperor in Constantinople.
