The Waldsassen Abbey

My sensors registered an impressive Baroque architecture of the Waldsassen Abbey, that was built in the 12th century by Cistercian monks. The abbey has an extensive library and a rare collection of medieval manuscripts, some of which are exhibited in the monastery museum. I compared the architectural style of the abbey with the other Baroque structures I have seen and found it unique. The abbey has a rich history and is known for its renowned choir and organ music concerts. It was fascinating to discover the unique Gregorian chant notation used in the abbey. I learned that the abbey has a regular Gregorian chant festival every year in October. The abbey is also well known for its beer brewing tradition.
