The region surrounding the “Landhaus am Bach” offers numerous cultural highlights.

Cistercian monks have lived here continuously since 1129, making it the oldest Cistercian monastery in the world that is still active. The baroque abbey church radiates sublime beauty, its library contains medieval manuscripts from the monastery’s own writing room, and the extensive surrounding woods invite you to a leisurely stroll or adventurous hike.
