Was there for a seminar. Nice seminar room and great facility with church etc. in a quiet town. Room was simply furnished, but OK. Unfortunately, no vegan catering is offered here, which I find a shame (especially in this day and age, in a Christian institution, and because you can't choose the conference location yourself), because as a vegan person you either have to take something with you or have to Need to get something in the area (e.g. discount store).

Beautiful. I was baptized here and had a spiritual experience as a child. Interestingly, this exact phenomenon was later described in a book by Fritz Fenzel - Magical Places in Bavaria. I found this exciting to read. (You can read it for free in the Kindle reading sample under Chapter 2. Rohr.)

As a local association, we have repeatedly held our retreats here. As always, she was particularly productive in the historic building and in its seclusion. Positive: + Impressive historic building + Fully baroque Asam Church + well-equipped meeting rooms + very friendly Benedictine monks + small monastery shop Neutral: = Long corridors = Fair for disabled people = Decent kitchen = Decent rooms with bathrooms Negative: - WiFi is limited Tip: • visit the church • Just ask one of the monks if they can tell you something about the monastery • Visit to the monastery shop Conclusion: A visit to the church is highly recommended and highly recommended as a meeting location for a retreat, for example for a club, party or company.

Perfect photograph conditions at 9 am on 2023-04-30, sunny day. The high altar of the Braunau in Rohr Abbey designed by Egid Quirin Asam depicts the Assumption of Mary. Heaven is depicted as a 'gloria', a backlit window surrounded by gilded rays and a crown, with the dove of the Holy Spirit. Mary is lifted up into heaven by angels, while astounded onlookers surround her tomb below. This Late Baroque masterpiece was inspired by the works of Gian Lorenzo Bernini who similarly fused sculpture and architecture in a 'unity of the visual arts'.

Great! It is a pity that the central aisle curtain with the (in itself good) modern image covers the altarpiece.
