High above the city rises the majestic, impressive and Romanesque Benedictine abbey of Sankt Mauritius. The abbey was built in 1909-1910 and occupied by Benedictine monks from the French Abbey of Saint-Maur de Glanfeuil. Seven times a day, the monks pray the Liturgy of the Hours under the direction of the abbot. In the crypt under the abbey there is a very interesting photo exhibition about the life and work of the Benedictines. In the souvenir shop you will find a large and diverse selection of books and artifacts. Morning Mass is held at 10 a.m. every day.
