Polling Monastery is a complex structure consisting of many buildings and building parts, which is essentially characterized by the impressive layout of the former Augustinian Canons' Monastery with its important collegiate church. From the 10th to the 18th century it achieved a high reputation as a spiritual and scientific center. From Weilheim, the monastery can be easily reached on foot in just over half an hour.

Monastery founded in 1010 by Henry II's deed, Augustinian Canonry until 1803. Early monastery from the time of Tassilo III, around 750.

Exceptional former collegiate church, Gothic hall from 1420 at its core, Renaissance remodeling in 1628 and Rococo renovation in 1765. Entrance hall from 1733 with the inscription "Liberality Bavaria". Furnishings by Hans Leinberger, Barth. Steinle, Joh. Bapt. Straub, F. X. Schmädl and Joh. Bapt. Baader.

Former monastery library hall, concert hall since renovation in 1975. The municipality was awarded the Europa Nostra Prize for the successful village renewal, especially in the monastery ensemble around the church square.

Access to the church is only possible up to the wrought iron gate (around 1760) under the organ gallery, otherwise guided tours are available by arrangement.

The Collegiate Church of the Holy Cross is a three-aisled Gothic hall church and was built between 1416-1420, after the former construction had fallen victim to a fire. From 1605 began several alterations, starting with the construction of the tower. The Holy Cross, one of the most important works of art of the German High Middle Ages, found its place on the high altar in 1628 for the first time. With the reconstruction from 1605, the Pollinger church began to become what is so admired today: a harmonious unity of three eras.
