Monastery St. Mang

Former Benedictine Monastery of St. Mang (1701 – 1717): the present baroque buildings were constructed on medieval foundations. In the Magnuskrypta (Crypt of St. Magnus), which lies beneath the monastery church, the oldest remaining fresco in Bavaria (around 980 – Reichenau School) can be seen. The monastery buildings house Füssen’s Heritage Museum with information about the history of the monastery: the richly decorated baroque halls in the monastery, one of Europe’s finest collections of historical lutes and violins, a section on King Ludwig II, as well as the oldest extant Bavarian ‘Dance of Death’, can all be admired here.
