Destination Seeon Monastery

This monastery has a history of over a thousand years. It was converted at the beginning of the 19th century and has had a varied history since then. In the meantime it belongs to the Bavarian Free State. Mozart often played here on the organ, which can still be played true to the original.

This place is now a conference venue. Guided tours are offered and you can spend the night in the historic monastery walls:
