If you didn't know, you'd never suspect such a vast monastery complex in Speinshart. The monastery church, with its lavish stucco work and rich furnishings, is one of the most important in southern Germany. In addition to the stucco work, note the carved stringers of the pews, and don't forget the Steinmeyer organ.

It's best to take a guided tour!
