#welsguide tip: Did you know? The abbey was founded by Tassilo, Duke of Bavaria, on the very spot where his son Gunther died in a hunting accident.
“Porta patens esto, nulli claudatur honesto!”
“May this gate stand open to all,
who wishes to pass through it honourably!”
This inscription on the entrance gate to our abbey is an expression of our Benedictine hospitality.
