The section where the self-service food stallis now located was built in 2002 instyle of the old architecture. The restaurant,which is still part of the original structure, dates back to thethe 13th century. The current restaurant in the same premisesas well as the beer garden opened in 2003.

The beer garden is partly shaded by sun-umbrellas and one huge treeat the centre of the self-serviced area.The self-serviced area has 550 seats and the serviced terrace has 160seats.

The monastery was founded in 1256 under the rule of "Ludwig der Strenge", Duke of Bavaria. After having executed his first wife on (mistaken)suspicion of adultery he was ordered to build amonastery by Pope Alexander IV. Perhaps partly due to a sense of guilt,the Duke maintained and equipped the monastery favorable until his deathin 1294.

The beer garden with its impressive baroque castle-like backdrop is an idyllic setting whichhas become a popular venue amongst locals who often come in groups of friends andunwrap their home cooked food in true Bavarian style. For those who do not bring their own food, the restaurantand self-serviced area offers Bavarian specialties, using locally and often ecological ingredients from surrounding farmlands. The beer garden is part of a 4-star hotel situated in a separate area across the abbey.
