The former monastery church of St. Peter and Paul is now a branch church of the Anger parish and impresses with its architectural history, which ranges from the Romanesque period to the late Rococo period. The square bell tower with its onion dome, the single-nave nave with a gallery, and the Romanesque choir with its groin vault tell of centuries of architectural history. Particularly noteworthy are the high altarpiece by Francesco Vanni (c. 1600), depicting the Transfiguration of Christ, and the stucco work by Benedikt Zöpf (1765), which lend the church a unique atmosphere.

Archbishop Konrad I of Salzburg founded this Augustinian monastery in 1125 on an island in Lake Höglwörth. On July 30, 1817, the last provost, Gilbert Grab, voluntarily abolished the monastery and privatized it. It was the last monastery to be secularized in Bavaria. In 1821, the building was purchased by the Wieninger brewery family, who still own it today. In addition to its spiritual significance, beer also played a major role in Höglwörth. Starting in 1730, the monks built a brewery here, which initially made losses but then flourished. By 1804, the monastery was already producing 3,800 hectoliters of beer. The brewery continued to exist, even after the monastery was dissolved.

The dammed Saalch River already offers a very beautiful view. The small path directly upstream from the dam, directly at the lake, ends after about 3 kilometers, so stay on the upper cycle path.

The flowing Saalach and the view of the Predigtstuhl are very beautiful.

The facility is beautiful. The monastery itself no longer exists, but the monastery church has been beautifully restored.

Recycling in the forest is the topic here. And when it rains, it's good to know that she's there! 😉
