The Cistercians and their baroque buildings shape Waldsassen and the surrounding abbey land - such a unique cultural treasure that the region is currently advertising as a UNESCO cultural heritage. The highlights of the monastery town include the monastery basilica, the monastery library with precious carvings, the nature experience garden of the Waldsassen Abbey and the Stiftland Museum.

Waldsassen has a pretty old town with beautiful Baroque buildings. A stroll through the charming streets is definitely worth it. Further highlights of the city are the monastery basilica, the monastery library, the nature discovery garden of the Waldsassen Abbey and the Stiftlandmuseum.

Even the first glance into the interior of the church shows that our basilica is rightly one of the most important and magnificent Baroque churches in Southern Germany.
