The cloister garden at Holzen Monastery was not an ornamental garden, but a place for prayer and meditation. Its original form can still be discerned in the cruciform layout of the paths in the inner courtyard. Its axes represent the four dimensions of a fulfilled life – prayer, work, rest, and physical well-being. The Benedictine nuns had the garden laid out behind high monastery walls at the end of the 17th century so that no one from the outside could see inside.
