This is the Maihingen monastery church.
The monastery, founded in 1459 by the Order of Birgitte, was taken over by the Minorites in 1607, for whom it was their home until secularization in 1802. The Minorites rebuilt the monastery (1703) and the magnificent monastery church (1712 to 1719).
Today the monastery church is mainly used by the parish for particularly festive services. Anyone looking for a stop here will first admire the decorative furnishings. But the visitor will also appreciate the quiet of a place of worship that has not been overtaken by mass tourism.
