According to tradition, the monastery was founded in 617 by Roman Eustace of Luxeuil. Today, it is famous for the oldest brewery in the world, existing since 1050. The baroque abbey buildings come from the 18th century. The most valuable of them is the Church of St. Jerzy - a wonderfully decorated work of architects and sculptors, brothers Kosma and Damian Asam.
