This historic complex, dating back to the 12th century, impresses with Baroque architecture with Romanesque elements, including a unique portal and frescoes.

The abbey hides real treasures - in the crypt there is a unique cycle of frescoes dating from 1175-1180, a significant monument to Romanesque art.

It is an ideal place for lovers of history, art and spirituality, where you can experience peace and contemplation surrounded by breathtaking Alpine landscapes.
