Benedictine Monastery at Tegernsee (pt. I)

Posted by MadScientist (Düsseldorf, Germany) on 22 February 2008 in Architecture and Portfolio.

Once in Bavaria, we stay for a while at the former Benedictine monastery at Tegernsee, now hosting the local Catholic parish church of Saint Quirinus. We've already seen some details here and there. Tomorrow we'll look back.

I like the lightness of the ceiling. It is grand but light and airy. Excellent.

@Japanalia: This church has also been used for representative purposes, so the refurbishment was a bit more comprehensive than usual :-)
