Dietramszell Monastery

Highlight • Religious Site

The collegiate church of the Dietramszell monastery is one of the most beautiful monastery churches in the Bavarian baroque landscape thanks to the great interior.
An absolute must stop here and visit the church.
The Maria and St. Martin's monastery was probably founded before 1098 by Udalschalk, abbot of the Benedictine monastery in Tegernsee.

Kirchsee

Highlight • Lake

Lake Kirchsee is located just one and a half kilometers from the village of Sachsenkam. It is considered one of the most beautiful and warmest bathing lakes in the Oberland region. Parts of the shore are designated as swimming areas and are popular in the summer. Lake Kirchsee is the scenic highlight of the magnificent Ellbach-Kirchseemoor, a nature reserve since 1940. Enjoy the magnificent natural surroundings and the moor meadows, which bloom in colorful blooms, especially in the summer months. You can enjoy a light refreshment at the kiosk.

Grüne Marter (Green Martyrdom Memorial)

Highlight • Monument

Legend has it that a terrible crime took place there at the time of the Thirty Years' War in 1632. The Swedes had advanced into Dietramszell. They robbed, looted and pillaged. A father of the Augustinian Canons' Monastery had fled from the Swedes into the forest and hid there. But he was discovered by the enemy soldiers and cruelly tortured to death because he did not want to reveal where the monastery treasure was.

The "Green Torture" is a wooden memorial column with three picture panels at the top, which are protected by a tin roof. An old Dietramszell view (before the fire of 1636) and a picture of St. Hubertus, the patron saint of hunters, can be seen on it. The column is said to have a greenish sheen, hence the name. In 1950 the wayside shrine was renewed.

A less bloodthirsty version says that the "Green Torture" is a marking point on an important connecting route from Tegernsee via Reutberg to Dietramszell. It can also be seen as a border marking between the Reutberg Monastery and the Augustinian Canons' Monastery in Dietramszell.

Pilgrimage Church of Maria Elend

Highlight • Religious Site

The pilgrimage church "Maria im Elend" consists of an octagonal central building with a tower and sacristy and was built at the end of the 17th century. 100 years later, today's furnishings were supplemented with a rococo altar and stucco.
Unfortunately the lonely forest location of "Maria im Elend" is no longer as magical as it used to be. The ancient trees on the avenue leading to the church were felled in spring 2021.
