Metten Abbey

Highlight • Religious Site

Metten Monastery is one of the original Bavarian monasteries and was founded around the year 766. In addition to the well-known baroque monastery library, the abbey church is also worth seeing. The building from the Carolingian era was followed by a Gothic hall church in the 15th century. The choir has been preserved from her. From 1712 to 1729 the church was redesigned in Baroque style under Abbot Roman II Märkl according to plans by Jakob Ruesch. The interior was stuccoed in 1722 by Franz Josef Holzinger. Wolfgang Andreas Heindl created the frescoes for the vestibule and the nave. The high altar by Jakob Schöpf from 1713 has a painting by Cosmas Damian Asam showing the Archangel Michael (around 1715). Asam also made the picture of the rosary altar (around 1726 to 1730).

Via Nova Memorial

Highlight • Monument

There is a monument to the Via Nova and a bench to relax on.
The VIA NOVA (Latin for 'New Way') is a newly created European pilgrimage route in July 2004 that does not have a specific destination, but rather combines old pilgrimage routes.
The VIA NOVA connects Weltenburg/Kelheim, Bogen in Bavaria, Příbram in the Czech Republic and St. Wolfgang in the Salzkammergut with three main routes and a few side routes.
On September 5, 2010, the Czech Republic was connected to this pilgrim route network for the first time with the 250 km long section from Vilshofen to Příbram. This path is not new either, but goes back to an old pilgrimage route, which has hardly been used since the Second World War and has only been used more regularly by pilgrims in recent years.
In 2014, the European Pilgrimage Route was extended via Aufhausen (LK Regensburg) to Weltenburg Kelheim.
