A glimpse into the monastic world of Altomünster

With Praying, Baking, Building, the Altomünster Museum opens a special window into the history of the former Brigittine convent. The exhibition showcases precious treasures from the monastery library and connects piety, everyday life, and building culture into an impressive event experience.

Historical originals that feel approachable

On display are manuscripts, prints, and archival materials that make life in the monastery tangible over centuries. The presented pieces range from liturgical books to recipes from the former monastery kitchen. This connection of spiritual practice and everyday monastic culture adds to the appeal of the exhibition.

A place of tranquility with strong radiance

The Altomünster Museum is itself part of this special atmosphere. The permanent exhibition is dedicated to the life of Saint Bridget of Sweden and represents calmness, contemplation, and reflection. This ambiance also shapes the visit to the special exhibition and gives it a quiet, concentrated depth.

Professionally grounded and carefully curated

The exhibition is supported by the close collaboration of the museum and local heritage association, the Archdiocese of Munich and Freising, as well as archival and library expertise. The presented objects are not only culturally and historically valuable but also document the piety, order, and everyday culture of centuries-old monastic life.

What visitors can expect

For those interested in monastic history, religious culture, and regional history, this exhibition offers depth, care, and authentic radiance. Praying, Baking, Building invites you to rediscover Altomünster and experience the traces of the former monastery live.
